That's according to The Bookseller magazine, which just announced its Diagram prize, as reported by The Associated Press. "Big Boom's" work defeated "I Was Tortured by the Pygmy Love Queen" and the third-place finisher, "Cheese Problems Solved." Other contenders were "How to Write a How to Write Book," "Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues" and "People who Mattered in Southend and Beyond: From King Canute to Dr Feelgood." Past winners include the memorable "Weeds in a Changing World" (1999), "The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories" (2003); "Bombproof Your Horse" (2004); and "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification" (2006). Bloomberg News delves into some of the history of the prize, noting the inaugural award in 1978 went to ``Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice.'' |
