Non-fiction titles should be brief and descriptive, and suggest a benefit. A sub-title can expand on the title.

Dump unneeded words. “Lose Weight, Get Rich and Have Great Sex” is better than “How to Lose Weight, Get Rich and Have Great Sex.” The “How to” is implied. (BTW–that title could probably sell a lot of books! ;o) )

Great tips–thanks!

How ’bout this:

“Hookers: The Socialite’s Anti-Guide to ‘Striking’ It Big!”

Actually, in my home town there was a fishing store on the seedy street in town called “Hookers” — true story. (And you don’t want to know what the hot dog vendor was called… seriously…)
