Once, in a little used-book store, I swear to God I found of copy of The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern... not the "good parts" version by William Goldman. I wish I’d bought it, because I know no one will believe me...

There is an online catalog of all these books-within-books (and damn! I thought of doing this ages ago), and it’s The Invisible Library. This is where you’ll find The Red Book of Westmarch by Bilbo Baggins, and Dr. Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations, and Suggestions for the Amelioration of Sick-Bays by Dr. Stephen Maturin...

*sigh* As if there weren’t enough real books that I’d never get to reading if I lived to be 1000 years old...

It doesn't have the necromonicon :(.
Klaatu! Barrada! Nic*harump*...
Adam -- Look under "The Hund And Other Stories" -- that's where The Necronomicaon is found. Groovy.
Sadly, I can't correct my atrocious typos here. Please ignore my previous comment and substitute: Adam -- Look under "The Hound And Other Stories" -- that's where The Necronomicon is found. Groovy.
