Interesting project, and a very fun story. Authors make up back stories to go with various knickknacks. Then the objects are sold. Apparently the point is to figure out whether the stories add value to the objects.

This is my favorite of the stories I've read.

Quoted: This is an icon of the fourteenth-century saint Vralkomir of Dnobst, the patron saint of extremely fast dancing.

Quoted: In the autumn of 1347, in response to a perceived slight from a Dnobstian maiden, the recently enthroned Tsar Nÿrdrag the Irascible (also known as “The Cowbird Tsar,” a Scandinavian foundling whom the previous Tsar and Tsarina unknowingly raised as their own) issued an edict banning fire in Dnobst.

Out of these lists there are only 6 books that I would pick up
Ancient Gonzo Wisdom, Dangerous Games, The Photographer, Stone's Fall, are some off them I have gone of the crime novel but I have started reading again 1950's guns and burlesque, you know the good old fashioned pulp and gothic fiction, trying to get my hands on gay/lesbian pulp but had no luck so far and then I found a new genre call Hard Case Crime which came out in 2004 I think which goes back to books published in the 40's and ones that are written now, some good entertainment there
