Online contest seeks book with oddest title

Take a gander at this sampling of nominees to beat at the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for oddest book title:

"How Green were the Nazis?" by Thomas Zeller, Franz-Josef Bruggemeier and Mark Cioc; "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: a Guide to Field Identification," by Julian Montague; "Tattoed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan," by Robert Chenciner, Gabib Ismailov, Magomedkhan Magomedkhanov and Alex Binnie, and "D. Di Mascio's Delicious Ice Cream: Di Mascio of Coventry, an Ice Cream Company of Repute, With an Interesting and Varied Fleet of Ice Cream Vans" by Roger De Boer, Harvey Francis Pitcher and Alan Wilkinson.

Some of the authors' names could certainly qualify as contenders for an oddest names contest, don't you think? But I digress.

The winner will be chosen by the public via online voting at http://www.thebookseller.com/. The winner will be announced on April 13.

In case your curious, last year's winner was "People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It," by Gary Leon Hill. Wow, that's one I'm definitely going to add to my reading list. Not.
