Rules of the game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a," "an," or "the").
5. 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."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two, e.g., "thunder-clouds," and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.
8. No repeats on current thread.
9. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
10. 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.

I think: No, "New York" is still two words. (Unless the author/publisher MADE it INTO one word on the t.p. From the above, we know that we would then have to treat it as one word. The abbreviation "NYC" I would treat as one word.)

Youʻre right. The "WAY"I posted it was wrong, but it
was Search/Touchstonesʻs way, not mine.
But I figure, if Search/Touchstones gives me "peopleS" when I ask for "peopleʻS", I might as well accept it. I was playing on
"A PeopleʻS History..." of 204, and chose to have it put in
blue, thus sacrificing the
presence of the apostrophe. Next time Iʻll sacrifice the ʻBlue" and retain the apostrophe.

"not stealing your turn (?)"
No, but thanks for asking. I deleted 230 because I had mistakenly played on "journey" not on the
"journal" of 229.

On 248>249, 251
Seems, from the time-record, that 248 should have been on the screen when I posted 249, but itʻs new to me. Either I was struck by a blind spot for it, or it didnʻt make it onto the screen at the time of 249. So I played on "Africa" of 247.
