How Green Were the Nazis? and The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America are just two of the titles competing for an unusual book prize.

The Bookseller magazine has released its shortlist for the Oddest Titles prize, honouring fringe publishing.

Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium is also in the running, with a public vote due to decide the winner.

The winning author receives a bottle of champagne for their efforts.

Last year's contest was won by Gary Leon Hill for his impressively titled The People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It.
