Here’s a good one. The finalists have just been revealed in the Diagram Prize for the Oddest Title of the Year. All of these books have been published...
The winner is: The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification by Julian Montague, published by Harry N Abrams.
Well, it would be, wouldn’t it. There were also some great runners up. Here’s the shortlist:
How Green Were the Nazis?
D Di Mascio's Delicious Ice Cream: D Di Mascio of Coventry - an Ice Cream company of Repute, with an Interesting and Varied Fleet of Ice Cream Vans.
Tattoed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan.
Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium.
Better Never to Have Been: the Harm of Coming into Existence.
Personally I like last year’s winner the best: How People Who Don't Know They're Dead Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It.
And here are some previous winners: Bombproof Your Horse (2004), Living with Crazy Buttocks (2002), and Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice.
