File under Oddities from the Mother Country (the folks who inspired the Ministry of Silly Walks): Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers has been named the oddest book title of the past 30 years. The Bookseller, a British trade pub (not that kind of pub), annually gives an award to an odd -- but not gimmicky -- title. To mark the 30th anniversary of the prize, a special award was made.

Rural Postmen, published in 1994 by a British stamp-collecting organization. is a comprehensive record of a sector of Greece's postal routes. It finished just ahead of People Who Don't Know They're Dead and a guide to avoiding maritime mishaps, How to Avoid Huge Ships.

Here's the complete list of annual winners.
