Book-Name Tom Swifties
A "Book-Name Tom Swifty" is a pun using the title of a fictitious book, whether fiction or non-fiction, listed along with the first and last name of the equally fictitious author or authors. The book title, however, adds ambiguity and humour to the author names, that become puns in context, so the name "Willie," for example, becomes "Will he," and "Betty" becomes "Bet he." I've collected some samples some of which are my own below, but I have left off any that are coarse or base in their humour.
