Of course, this is easily corrected in Sigil, but the 'Publisher' should have taken greater care with these titles.
They wouldn't be alone in not having things formatted as neatly as they should I don't think. I remember a thread some time back about LOTR and how the ebook has a ton of errors (or did at that time anyway). The Internet Archive seems to have a lot of errors in the books that they scan into their archives. Quantity seems to trump quality with them or something. Gutenberg is much better as far as their work with PD books. Of Course Mary Stewart's books aren't PD, nor likely to be so for some time yet even after she passes on, but it seems sometimes that ebooks do have more errors than their paper cousins.
