The winner of the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year has come out and I can’t wait to lay down $1,139 for it. Yes, it’s “The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-Milligram Containers of Fromage Frais”.I’m hoping the outlook is good, because I do love fromage frais.
Other titles I will be tracking down:
- “Waterproofing Your Child”
- “The Large Sieve and Its Applications”
- “Strip and Knit With Style”
- “Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Nude Mice”
- “How to Avoid Huge Ships”
If you want to experience the full force of the Bookseller/Diagram Prize, you can get the lists, photos included, in this lovely volume. Which I already own. Naturally.
