I have only one book like this, and it's called "Comparative stylistics of French and English" by J.P. Vinay and J. Darbelnet. The cover is plain baby blue with dark blue letters. That was hilarious!

O_O The voice just lends an eerie and creepy sense of impending doom. It's like a mad computer left alone to read the books stored in a Library. I can just imagine a twisted Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode where the last human left hears the voice and thinks he/she isn't alone. Who then rushes in and finds to their horror the very robot that killed off everyone so that it can catalog all the books in peace and quiet talking to itself as it reads the names out loud. Brrrr! I…I feel so wrong after watching that. O_O

There was a typo on the title page that indicated it was about "casual analysis" instead of "causal". I had a different book from sage publishing with the same cover scheme.
