A 72-page British book recording Greece’s postal routes – “Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers” – has received a literary award for having the oddest book title of the past 30 years.

The book – published by the Hellenic Philatelic Society of Great Britain – beat out many titles, including “People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead” and “How to Avoid Huge Ships” to become the weirdest-ever winner of the Diagram Prize, organized by trade magazine The Bookseller.

The volume garnered 13 percent of the 1,000 international public votes cast online. “The posties pulled off a real shock here,” said the prize’s custodian, Horace Bent, noting that the favorite had been a book called “Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice.”

The Diagram Prize was launched in 1978 as a way to relieve boredom at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
