While strolling through Barnes and Nobles this morning I noticed that the "New Age" section had a lot of "Idiot's Guide" books. Let's see there's:

The Idiot's Guide To Astrology
The Idiot's Guide To Indigo Children
The Idiot's Guide To 2012
The Idiot's Guide To Werewolves (werewolves?! but not vampires, that's in the young adult section. Stephanie Meyer wrote it)
The Idiot's Guide To Connecting With Your Angels
The Idiot's Guide To Life After Death (10 pages of heaven and hell, completely messed up, but 150 pages of ghosts)
The Idiot's Guide To Toltec Wisdom (Heavy on Toltec, strangely lacking in wisdom)
The Idiot's Guide To Vision Boards
The Idiot's Guide To The Law of Attraction (sorry, folks, the Romance section is reserved for Harlequin)
The Idiot's Guide To Past Life Regression
The Idiot's Guide To Communicating With Spirits
The Idiot's Guide To Spells and Spellcraft
The Idiot's Guide To Tarot
The Idiot's Guide To Tarot Spreads (for the advanced idiot)
The Idiot's Guide To Paganism
The Idiot's Guide To Shamanism
The Idiot's Guide To Numerology
The Idiot's Guide To Numerology Workbook (I guess every math textbook needs an accompanying workbook, no matter how fuzzy the math)
The Idiot's Guide To Psychic Awareness
The Idiot's Guide To Short Meditations (But no long meditations, I guess we ADD kids have the advantage here)

But to be honest, I shouldn't be suprised that such a small book section would have such a parge percentage of books that are "Idiot's Guides" After all, who else but an idiot would really want to learn this stuff?
