I read an article in a german newspaper today, it was about getting a
good credit score in the USA, keeping and even improving it up to the
max (which is 850). And in the article a book was mentioned:
"Prologomena zu einer Metaphysik des Lautenspiels bei F. Zappa" (the
english title would be something like "Prologomena about the
metaphysics of the lute playing of F. Zappa"). Anybody heard of this
book? The article (in german only) is here:

"Man beißt sich etwa in den „Prologomena zu einer Metaphysik des
Lautenspiels bei F. Zappa“ fest, liefert das überfällige Buch zu spät
bei der Bibliothek ab – und prompt landet der Vorgang inklusive der Höhe
der Strafe in den Computern der Auskunfteien."
My German is far from faultless, but I believe this title to be a
fictional example of an obscure book that you might become absorbed in
to the point that it is overdue when you return it to the library, which
could have the effect of queering your credit rating. The title,
Prologomena to a Metaphysics of Sound Play in F. Zappa or something to
that effect, seems meant to be faintly ridiculous.
