Posted by: Scott    Tags:      Posted date:  March 29, 2009  |  No comment


As reported by the New York Times, the winner of the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year is—

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-Milligram Containers of Fromage Frais

This year’s finalists included:

Curbside Consultation of the Colon
The Large Sieve and Its Applications
Strip and Knit With Style
Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring

My favorite of all past nominees mentioned in the article, however, was the 2005 winner:

People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It.
