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.

I never would have done so if
I'd known that he'd be frozen stiff.

Lawless world : America and the making and breaking of global rules from FDR's Atlantic Charter to George W. Bush's illegal war by Philippe Sands
I agree with Roland. Rule 7 should not apply because 1914—1922 in No. 158 is not a hyphenated word. An en dash—not a hyphen— is used to separate the numbers 1914—1922.

The Message of Don Quixote: An Address Delivered by Capt. Henry King at the Annual Meeting of the Cervantes Society, at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis October Seventh, Nineteen Nine by Capt. Henry King
re:#271 King Crow is the title of a short poem by Gregory Corso and most likely was not published separately in book form. If so, #271 does not follow suggested rule #6 (title must be shown in an LT listing or on the title page of a book). Library Thing does, however, list two books by the title, King Crow, one by Jennifer Armstrong in 1995, and another by Michael Stewart in 2014. So the play of the title is correct.

Schmerguls,
I used that Tip O'Neill title in #41. No matter, there is no effect on the game.

fyrfly, I should have checked but you are right since you appropriately played on #274 rather than on my invalid #275.
