This book cannot be touchstoned:

http://www.librarything.com/work/389348/editions

The 100 possibilities do not include the one by Dorothy Mills. In a probably related piece of information, it appears as the 198th item in this search:

http://www.librarything.com/search_works.php?q=the+middle+ages&offset=175&am...

Theory - "others" results for touchstones are limited to the first 100 returned by the search.

This will probably all just get deferred for the mysterious "talk redo."

Or search redo - since it's not showing up near the top of search-by-title, as it should...

Closing, as this specific touchstone works now:

The Middle Ages

It's because the search redo moved the result from 198 to somewhere in the 50s. I think it's still not optimal, but I've posted that to the new search thread:

It's higher in the search results. Anyway, old touchstone search is going away soon. Deferred.

Why was this deferred? The OP had already closed it.

Anyway, touchstone search has been changed and this is now the second result, so I'm closing it.
