Every year since 1978, the Diagram Prize has recognized the most unusual title of a book published in Britain. Past winners have included such greats as
Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice
How Green Were the Nazis?
People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead
How to Avoid Huge Ships
This year the prize also recognized the all-time best of the best. The winner was Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers, a title that, according to the authors, “purely describes what’s in the book.” Good enough for us.
