In searching for one of his first "Suburban Xanadu" on Google Books, I was amused to discover that the text is scanned and shown upside down!
As this is the first book I've searched for after my own, I am rather surprised to find this faux paz. I have no idea how many other authors have suffered this fate, but perhaps they are a whole new subclass of plaintiffs I will call "Skoob Elgoog", which is of course Google Books backwards.
