Weird, it's quite reliable on my system - I've got dozens of books with single quotes in the title, and all are exhibiting this. I'm not seeing single quotes get escaped automatically though...

Here's an example:
Local filesystem:
/Users/userid/Documents/MyeBooks/Douglas Adams/Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (754)/cover.jpg

Actual URL on the Web Server (can be viewed here):
/ebooks/Douglas Adams/Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (754)/cover.jpg

URL passed from the PHP script (displays generic book cover):
/CalibrePHP/index.php?m=cover&c=Douglas+Adams%2FDirk+Gently%27 s+Holistic+Detective+Agency+(754)%2Fcover.jpg

No worries about the time, thanks for checking into it.

Edit - I now see that the single quote is escaped in the actual html generated by the PHP, but when the browser actually goes to it it converts it back to a single quote - pasting the URL into the browser location bar will illustrate it. Anyway either way the book cover isn't found.
