12 March 2007: What's in a name?

Forget the booker prize for fiction. The Bookseller magazine has now opened voting on the oddest book title of the year.

Go to www.thebookseller.com to vote for one of the shortlist, all of which are genuine titles in print, including the following:

-- "How Green Were the Nazis?"

-- "Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium"

-- "Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Dagestan"

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.

The first winner, in 1978, was "Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice".
