Winning the 36th annual Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year, the authors Mats & Enzo are not new to the prize. They have also published the short titles including How to Poo on Holiday, How to Poo at Work and How to Bonk at Work.
The Bookseller, which organizes the competition, said the title How to poo on a date achieved 30 per cent of the vote among readers. In second place is Are Trout South African? by Duncan Brown and in third is The Origin of Feces by David Waltner-Toews.
The Bookseller diarist, Horace Bent, said: “The public have chosen wisely. Not only have they picked a title that truly captures the spirit of the prize, they have selected a manual that can help one through life’s more challenging and delicate moments.”
An editor at Prion Press, Roland Hall, the man responsible for publishing the book, said: “We are very happy and honoured that the public thought our book worthy of first place in this much sought-after prize; we’d have been disappointed to be number two. How to Poo on a Date is a humorous self-help title and it means a great deal to the authors, and the rest of the team that put the book together, that it should encounter such a splash of success.”
There was no review of the book on Amazon, but the authors hope that will soon change. According to the Amazon blurb: "Toilet etiquett-sperts Mats & Enzo have turned their attention and extensive experience to what is surely one of the most important questions that has played on the mind of mankind for centuries: How to Poo on a Date.
"Not an instruction manual as the title might imply, How to Poo on a Date is a practical guide to confronting every possible problem or eventuality one may encounter when wooing. Inside you'll learn exactly what to do (through explanatory text and useful diagrams) in a variety of practical, real-life situations, from feeling the call of nature as you walk in the woods with your paramour to what do if you block her toilet with a monster mud-out."
