<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ebook.css"/>
<!-- Version 1 of this book 2009-07-20 -->
</head>
Are you the author? I think Smedley is... Maybe you could use a meta value like preparer or proofer or publisher? Also, you might want to move the versioning and the preparation date into meta values, too. Machine readable, donchaknow! 
Also, the cover is not showing, and the source doesn't have any code to display it.
Saw this, too:
Code:
<img src="SmedleyButler.jpg"
alt="Pachelbel" width="300" height="376"/>
What does "Pachelbel" mean? Maybe you copy/pasted? I think you want a value like "Photograph of Maj.General Smedley D. Butler" or something.
In the CSS I saw this:
Code:
div.photoholder {
margin: auto; /* Centres block level elements */
padding: 0;
width: 300px; /* For ebooks must be same as image */
} /* Manages graphics */
And I wonder if you want to hard-code the width into your photoholder class? If you use the class for another image, and it's not natively 300px, your comment suggests that it might cause issues.
That's just a quick look, hope it helps.

Many thanks. As Patricia and Ecclesiastes says, Of the making of books there is no end - or, one can never proof read enough.
The author, meta, and pachelbel errors were carelessness on my part. I used a graphic of Pachelbel when developing the template, and forgot to change the alt text.
The width in the photoholder does have to change if one uses a different graphic - the pachelbel graphic was smaller than the SmedleyButler graphic, so I changed both width and height, and will use other values depending on the size of the next author's graphic.
I thought I'd included warisaracket.jpg in the zip file for the cover. Apparently not.
Regards, Alex
