Eschewing the Adage

Judging books by their covers, or titles at least, the Bookseller magazine has recognised Bombproof Your Horse with an award for the oddest book title of the year for 2004. Previous winners include these classics:
  • Living With Crazy Buttocks,
  • Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice,
  • Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality,
  • How to Avoid Huge Ships,
  • 227 Secrets Your Snake Wants You to Know,
  • Celtic Sex Magic: For Couples, Groups and Solitary Practitioners,
  • Design for Impact: 50 Years of Airline Safety Cards, and
  • Hot Topics in Urology.
    • According to a report in the Guardian, the judges thought there were too many self-consciously titled entries, "presumably in a bid to emulate the 2003 champion, The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories."
