We've been having fun with this book this morning, there are some brilliant collective nouns such as:

A Draught of Butlers (because they leave the door open?)
A Troubling of Goldfish
A Rage of Teeth
A Superfluity of Nuns

And we came up with some of our own as well:
An Intelligence (or perhaps a Headache?) of Booksellers
A Lack of Principles (or perhaps Principals?) - suggested by a customer
An Irritation of Telemarketers
A Bling of Rappers
