And it's not the only book that has one, Kate.

So that's not confusing for anyone.

Two books about dictionaries by people whose surnames are both Williams.

That will be giving bookstore people a headache.

I was just thinking that Mount Weasel copyright trap that you're talking about is quite common in other fields as well.

In maps, there's usually on any page of a map a trap for people who would plagiarise a map.

So there's, you know, fake streets or little things that just aren't there or should be there or very obvious ones.

So it's quite an ingenious little device.

It's fun, I think.

You're listening to The Bookshelf on ABC Radio National with me, Cassie McCullough, with Kate Evans, as always, word nerd Tiger Webb and novelist Suzanne Leal.

And the next book we're turning to is by the English writer Rose Tremaine, who's written a stack of novels, including the Gustave Sonata, Music and Silence, Restoration and Merival.

Well, well, what a great selection of books and what great reviewing we've had today.

Thank you both for these reviews.

Been great to have you along.

Thank you so much, Tiger Webb.

Thank you.

And also to you, Suzanne Leo.

Wonderful to have you.
