Let it flow: A Dog Pissing at the Edge of a Path wins 42nd Diagram Prize | The Bookseller

A Dog Pissing at the Edge of a Path showed a remarkably clean pair of paws to the rest of the field, notching up 49% of the public vote - 26 percentage points clear of second-place finisher, Introducing the Medieval Ass. Horace Bent, The Bookseller legendary diarist and The Diagram Prize administrator, said: "There has been little to shout about in a difficult year, but A Dog Pissing at the Edge of a Path is something to cherish, as long as you stay a good metre or two away and, perhaps, wear some stout wellies. Congratulations to Gregory Forth and McGill-Queen' s University Press: I am sure the champagne - or I guess something else - will certainly be flowing as they celebrate A Dog Pissing's hard-earned victory."
