The 2007 Diagram Prize for the Oddest Title of the Year

It's too early yet for the shortlist for the Diagram Prize, but there are some fantastic early entries and this already looks like a vintage year.

My favourite competition of the year is run by columnist Horace Bent in the Bookseller (the UK book trade weekly) with input from dedicated odd title hunters from all over the world. The prize, set up in association with the Diagram Group, has been running since 1978 and is a joyous celebration of the barmy side of publishing.

Strong early contenders include :

How to Write a How to Write Book (for those self help fanatics)

If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs

Are Women Human?  And Other International Dialogues

Knickers: an Intimate Appraisal

Cheese Problems solved

I can't wait for the shortlist!
