Oddest Book Title of the Year contest

"Highlights in the History of Concrete"
"How to Avoid Huge Ships"
"The Joy of Sex: Pocket Edition"
"Weeds in a Changing World"
"Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers"

and of course. . . .

"The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories"

The Oddest Book Title of the Year contest was begun in 1978 to combat boredom at the Frankfurt Book Fair. (Last year the winner was "If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs.")
