In #36, the title is incorrect. It's Norwegian Wood, not Woods.
Singular, not plural, just like the song.
I've seen it here many times and you may see the book's title on the linked page and in the reviews.
I thought there was a chance that the poster might correct it.

Well, #36 has now been corrected, but it had not been when I posted and so I did not know the title was wrong. I thought Touchstones wouldn't work if the title is wrong. I never heard of the book nor the song. Sorry.

Is "A" not considered a part of book title, it has to have an article. a to make sense of a title. You must "E" as the first letter of your entry in the post.Please verify. Be flexible with the rules, to encourage more participation from other members. Do you agree to my proposal.
Flexibility must be given in certain circumstances.
If my entry for example is an actual book title,"A" is for Atonement". Will you consider this entry not valid?

>77 razzamajazz: Copied from the rules:
Ignore articles such as "A", "An" & "The".
That means ignore them, they don't exist as far as playing a title. They've never been allowed. It doesn't make the title impossible to play. Play it on "G, for Gun.

Boobalack, you are right that in the title "A is for Alibi" A is not an article but since we should keep this not too complicated I think we should not use it as a title starting with A. But in the title used in #75, A Gun for Sale, A is certainly an article.

You should be playing off from Message 213.
Message 213 followed the rule of the puzzle.
