They sell the, "xyz for Dummies", books, and the, "xyz for Complete Idiots", books, in order to try to attract people who might otherwise be intimidated by the subject, "xyz", whatever it happens to be.
Here's one I thought of - "Superstring Theory for the Illiterate". Good?
Concerning programming books, some are scary, for instance, "The Art of Computer Programming", Volumes 1-4A, by Donald Knuth.

My idea for it, in order to get more people to buy it, is to modify the title, how about,
"The Art of Computer Programming for Dogs and Cats", Volumes 1-4A, by Donald Knuth?
In this modern world, you have to know how to market a book, yes?
