Sorry, Rebekah, this sub-title isn't listed on the MPE (as required by the task), so it will not qualify for the combo points.

Valerie, this does not work for 10.9, no approved genre listed on the book page, but it does work for 20.3. No change in points, just an FYI.

Sorry, Jenifer, I do not see this on the list for 20.7. If I overlooked it, please let me know. Also 20.1 requires a book published more than 20 years ago, so it won't work for that one either. I currently have it scored as 10.7 with no combos, but you do get the 5 jumbo points.
