The Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year, originally known as the Diagram Group Prize for the Oddest Title at the Frankfurt Book Fair,[1] commonly known as the Diagram Prize for short, is a humorous literary award that is given annually to the book with the oddest title. The prize is named after the Diagram Group, an information and graphics company based in London,[2] and The Bookseller, a British trade magazine for the publishing industry.[3][4] Originally organised to provide entertainment during the 1978 Frankfurt Book Fair,[2] the prize has since been awarded every year by The Bookseller and is now organised by the magazine's diarist Horace Bent.[3][4] The winner was at first decided by a panel of judges, but since 2000 the winner has been decided by a public vote on The Bookseller's website.[5]
