Better never to have been bound? (Edmundson)

The Bookseller.com is sponsoring The Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year.  The shortlist includes Better Never To Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence, by David Benatar (Philosophy, Cape Town).  (Harm to the book itself is in suspense, as it is out of stock until April 17, according to OUP, the publisher.)  Others on the shortlist include: Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan; How Green Were the Nazis?; the front-running The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification, and Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium.
