The Oddest Book Title Ever

Posted by Alex in Book & Lit on September 7, 2008 at 1:35 pm


A big congrats to Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers book. It has won the Diagram prize for oddest book title of the past 30 years:

In The Bookseller’s online poll to find the "Diagram of Diagrams", Derek Willan’s comprehensive record of a sector of Greece’s postal routes gained 13% of the public vote. Gary Leon Hill’s People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead finished second (11% of the public vote) and John Trimmer’s guide to avoiding maritime mishaps, How to Avoid Huge Ships (10%) finished third.

LinkThanks Martin Jordan!

    "How To Avoid Huge Ships" sounds extremely Pythonesque.
