Genghis Khan workplace manual dominates oddest book title shortlist
Khan mastered 'successful people management', says author. Now he must overcome colour-coded canines to scoop prize
A inspirational guide to Managing a Dental Practice: The Genghis Khan Way is emerging as the early favourite to win this year's Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year, whose shortlist has been announced by the Bookseller magazine. As voting began this weekend, Michael R Young's manual on the sharp-toothed challenges of modern dentistry seemed appropriately to be slaying the competition, securing 70% of votes cast.
