One of my favorite titles:

A few sane and irrefutable deductions on the subject of beehives and practical beekeeping. 
Massie, T. K. 190? Charleston, West Virginia: Synder Print Co.

-- I like the title; the book is of dubious merit. It promotes the author's unique beehive, which sports frames of the 7.5" depth, and supers which are 20"x20" -- Farrar used a similar hive in the 1940s: 

> A hive body 20 inches square and 6 5/8 inches deep that holds 12 frames 6 1/4 inches deep was developed by C. L. Farrar
