 1. Please play on the most recent correct post. 2. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title. 3. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the"). 4. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty." 5. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page. 6. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can. 7. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link. 8. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only. 9.
