My book Conservative Party Politicians at the Turn of the 20th/21st Centuries (2012, Civic Education & Research Trust, ISBN 978-1-4717-0080-4) has received positive reviews from academics, most recently in Political Studies Review (2014, Vol. 12, No. 2), one of the UK’s major journals.
With the general election soon upon us, as a “contribution to knowledge” the book is still available from the usual retailers but now at the amazing reduced price of £12!

A rather staid title. I would suggest an alternative.
How about “Scum, Scum, SCUM” –that has just the right ring to it.
And if you are doing a follow up about Labour–I think “The Cuntz” would hit the spot nicely.
Hundreds of people browsing in bookshops will pick up said book titles out of interest far greater than any that your present title could generate. For really excellent sales I think you would need to revise the content of your tome also. Tales of the vile and vicious have always been bestsellers.
Or plagiarise Churchill and retitle it “Claret, Sodomy and the Lash”.
Messrs Ecks and Pooter: You’re both on to something. I admit that I’m childishly pleased to have recently essayed an academic article review where I write about “men who have sex with men, particularly those who … take a receptive role during anal intercourse.” Much racier! And I know more about transsexual Columbian sex workers than I did a few months ago…
In all seriousness, Conservative Party Politicians IS a dry-as-dust academic work. Arguably, it’s “purpose” is to act as my own summary of the – if I may say so – remarkable dataset that lies behind it: http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/?sn=6552&type=Data%20catalogue.
