The Bookseller recently named the oddest book title in 30 years, the award went to Rural Greek Postman and their Cancellation Numbers. The contest was dreamed up in 1978 by the Diagram Group founder Bruce Robertson as a way to pass the time at a dreary Frankfurt Book Fair and they have been choosing an annual winner ever since.
