Now here's an unusual book title

[Misfit]

*scatches head*

Not sure how this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594146985/sr=1-1/qid=1220808623/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1220808623&sr=1-1&seller=) one got through like this on Amazon but it's worth a chuckle to see.

Uh, ooookkkkaayyyy, weird!

What??? That's weird!

[Spitfire]

Chocktaw...isn't that the name of a river or a county or something? :confused:

[Leyland]

Choctaw is a Southern native American tribe descended from previous Mississippian cultures.

[Misfit]

Not sure how the book title got weirded out, but the one and only review is Amazon's *cough* highly respected #1 reviewer. Some of the chit chat on one of her other reviews suggests that she gave it five stars at B&N so someone must have complained about that. How the comment ended up in the title itself it a mystery.

[MLE]

they don't hire rocket scientists to enter the data over at Amazon, you know.

[Lady of the Forest]

That was interesting

[Divia]

Yeah, that is a bit odd. Amazing, but odd. :)

[Rowan]

That's funny!

I'm waiting for the sequel myself.

ROFL. Now, what to name the sequel?

There was recently a contest to find the strangest book title. The winner was Greek Rural Postmen and their Cancellation Numbers by Derek Willan!

The sequel should be: Dear Amazon, how do you hire your staff? I think that they need to be better qualified to work on wbesites.

[Margaret]

LOL! Don't be too hard on Amazon. With the vast numbers of titles they process, it's amazing they don't make a few more mistakes like that. Something just got entered into the wrong box, I suppose. I've seen title glitches at Powell's, too, though nothing even close to that bad! (Powell's being my hometown bookstore, it's my fave - but also, the pages load way faster than at Amazon, and if you order $50 of books at a time - all too easy to do - you never pay any postage.)

[Misfit]

Margaret as many trips I've made to Portland I've never dared to go into powells. I'd be lost. I like posting reviews on their site and getting the chance to win their daily dose prize. I won once, got $25 in free books. :)

[Margaret]

Oh, Misfit! Every book lover should explore Powell's if they get the chance. I can't believe you didn't go in. It's not that easy to get lost. There's an information desk in just about every room, and signs showing which way to which rooms, plus a fold-out map of the whole store that any customer can pick up and carry around with them (and keep, if they want to). The rooms are all color-coded. It's so much fun!
