That is indeed, better than my version !

In a book of collected correspondence by the travel writer and general crazy guy Patrick Leigh Fermor: there's a letter of his to a titled friend, who was seeking in one of the rooms of their "ancestral stately pile", to create one of those fake-library-effect wall coverings, and was looking for spoof titles for the book-spine facsimiles. Fermor supplied dozens of suggestions along this title / author pun line -- varying in quality. A few of his better ones:

A Dog's Diet by Nora Bone

Reduced to the Ranks by D. Motion

There is a new song out for Christmas. "Happily waiting for Santa on my roof" by Bonnie Tyler, but it's been slated by the critics.

There was a terrible accident at the Nestlé factory yesterday when a man was crushed under hundreds of boxes of chocolate bars when a shelf collapsed. He tried summoning help, but every time he shouted “The Milky Bars are on me!”, everyone just cheered.

In Hounslow this evening a mad dog bit an income tax inspector. After being taken to hospital and given treatment for shock, the dog was allowed to go home.
