Thanks, sorry about that. I hadn't realized at first that duplicates were showing up in different categories on he publisher's website. Nor did I realize they were using the same photos for different titles aargh!
Wow, it is hard to see every single little cover so I hope I din't miss this. It's a great memoir of an American swimmer. Plus another book I found where the author has the same first name as me.CLUE # 1
