The most obscure book titles
'Greek Rural Postmen and their Cancellation Numbers'
By Derek Willan (book cover image unavailable)
The oddest book title of the past 30 years has been selected: 'Greek Rural Postmen and their Cancellation Numbers' taking 19% of a public vote.
The book is a comprehensive record of Greece's postal routes, published by the Greek Hellenic Philatelic Society of Great Britain, which "exists to encourage the collection of Greek stamps and to promote their study".
The 72-page book has won the Diagram of Diagrams, for the weirdest title in the past three decades and beat off some rather obscure titles.
