"37 mating positions" joke

What a rip-off. I went into our local bookstore and saw this huge display with a sign saying
"Newly translated from the original French: 37 mating positions."
Noticing that the books were already wrapped in plain brown paper, I just had a buy one.
Once safely at home I opened it, out of sight of my wife, and found that I had just purchased an expensive book about Chess.
