Step Right Up! How Many of These Rebus Book Titles Can YOU Guess?

Host Bob Clayton at the game board in 1972 via Wikipedia.

First let’s play how old-we-are: raise your hand if you remember the Classic Concentration game hosted by Alex Trebek in the ‘80s…or maybe one of the hosts from the ‘50s, ‘60s or ’70s when it was just Concentration?

Part of the show had contestants solving a rebus puzzle which uses pictures, symbols and/or letters to create a word or phrase you have to guess. Naturally, I had to bookify the rebus puzzle, so below you have 14 book titles to solve. As a hint each puzzle will list the amount of words in the title, the author’s name scrambled, and the border colors might be from the book cover.
