Mr. James | 129 comments I found several Stevenson editions missing the letter L. The link goes to a search with the improper spelling. The editions are towards the middle and end.

If you want to give me any insight on why this happens, and what you do to fix it (merge, delete, etc), I'd appreciate it. Arenda was nice enough to do it on a similar issue regarding Molloy.

Afterthought: Arenda said issues like these belong here and not in Looking for a Project? But after reading what constitutes a post in the Looking for a Project? folder, it seems like the above issue applies to both sections.

Mr. James | 129 comments I'll only bump this once. If you don't think it warrants a clean up, I'll leave it alone.

Mr. James | 129 comments I guess I won't leave it alone. It still bothers me.

Mr. James | 129 comments The cheerleader jumps from the top of the human period; the man leader moves to catch her but trips over his feet, falling to the gymnasium floor. The cheerleader falls on the boy's back, softening her impact. She lets out a small whimper of pain, then shouts, "J-E-K-Y-L-L... Spells Jekyll!"

Scott | 9168 comments With 90+ pages of editions and telling us that the ones that need fixing are "towards the middle and end," I don't think anyone is going to want to spend time looking for them. You should link to the specific editions.

As to why it happens it's likely because that is how they are spelled on Amazon.
