of a grammar fanatic, I can live with this because it is a design and it looks attractive. Also the different shades of red paper used. Now if they alphabetize "The" titles under "T" I must protest.

I can't count how many times I got that when I worked in a bookstore. I could never figure people like that out. They gotta have this book, just gotta have this book! But they don't know the title or the author.

in my history like this. I don't remember the title or the author. I don't even remember the cover. Dark color, maybe. It was told in the first person by a male and it had a girl in it. I GOTTA reread that book, but it is lost to the ages.
