The winners for the Bookseller/Diagram Prize have been announced. The Diagram Prize is an annual award for the oddest book title of the year. This year's winner is The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-Milligram Containers of Fromage Frais. Want to read it? It will only set you back £795 (or $1,136.00), and no, the Troy Public Library is not going to be purchasing this title.

These titles might not be as odd as this year's winner but, as a librarian, I’ve checked cataloging on books with titles like Adventurers of Purse & Person: Virginia 1607-1624/5 and The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States: Who Were Themselves Notable or Left Descendants Notable in American History (!).
