     Each Book of The Books of Tina Chopp is numbered sequentially. Each Book contains a number of Cantos, which are made up of Chapters and Verses. Each of the Cantos, Chapters and Verses are also numbered sequentially. A scripture from The Books of Tina, therefore, is addressed as a series of numbers, in a similar fashion to the way chapters and verses are addressed in the "christian" bible. Being a large collection of individual texts, The Books of Tina Chopp can be approached in a few different ways. In general, the easiest way to begin is to remember the following schema:

The Books of Tina Chopp space Book dot Canto dot Chapter dot Verse

     Because of the fact that each of the Books have individual Book Names, it is also fairly easy to use the following schema:

Book Name space Canto dot Chapter dot Verse

     Of course, these numbering schemata do not include The Book of Bleh, which is numbered separately from the rest of The Books of Tina Chopp, and is usually referred to separately as well, although it is considered one of The Books of Tina Chopp.

     There are fifteen Books of Tina Chopp (not including The Book of Bleh). They are as follows:

  1. The Book of Children (seven cantos)
  2. The Book of Chrome Plated Romans (fourteen cantos)
  3. The Book of Colleen (six cantos)
  4. The Book of Death (five cantos)
  5. The Book of Disco (three cantos)
  6. The Book of Dogshit (seven cantos)
  7. The Book of Frank (one canto)
  8. The Book of Garbage (three cantos)
  1. The Book of General Knowledge (five cantos)
  2. The Book of Other Things (two cantos)
  3. The Book of Randy (two cantos)
  4. The Book of Rude (three cantos)
  5. The Book of Second Things (eight cantos)
  6. The Book of Sex (two cantos)
  7. The Book of Vegetables (eleven cantos)

     Most of the Cantos have titles, such as TBOT 2.6 whose title is "Why Does Tina Permit Christianity?". You may notice that some of the Chapters also have titles (such as TBOT 3.4.2, whose title is "Searching Into Other Vegetables"), but frequently they do not (as seen in TBOT 2.6.1). Do not let this lack of chapter titles confuse you when referencing a particular scripture. Verses can be as short as one word, and as long as several sentences. They are not verses in the poetic sense of the word, rather, they are divions of the chapter which are primarily to emphasise certain points which may be being made in the text. Thus TBOT 5.1.3.2 is merely one word, while TBOT 9.2.2.1 is a fairly long paragraph.

     You may notice a peculiar anomaly, in that Chrome Plated Romans, canto 13 is exactly the same as Garbage, canto 3. This is because, although written at exactly the same time, by two different people, they are, in fact, exactly the same. Deal with it.

     Another peculiarity about The Books of Tina Chopp is the discrepancy over the names of the books of Dog Shit, Other Things and Second Things. These books have common, alternative names, which place them in different positions in some Tinite exegetes' numbering schemes. The common variations are either The Book of Dog Shit or The Book of Dogshit (primarily depending on whether Prophet Bruce or Prophet Randy were the authors), and either The Book of Second Things, or The Second Book of Things (the former being numbered Book 13, and the latter being numbered Book 15, with a commensurate adjustment in preceding books), and either The Book of Other Things, or The Other Book of Things (the former being numbered Book 10, and the latter being numbered Book 14, with a commensurate adjustment in preceding books). Are you confused yet?

     Special Note -- Depending on which browser you're using, verses which appear towards the end of the document might not load at the top of your browser window because of the fact that it is impossible to scroll beyond the bottom of the page. Some browsers will allow this, but the real ones won't let you do it. If this occurs, or you are confused about which verse is being referenced, please pay attention to the address numbers of the verse using the Back button on your browser if you're having trouble remembering.
