new Google Books glitch

[Jonathan Lighter]

I was searching in the text of Hershel Parker's _Herman Melville 1851-1891_
for the word "phosphorous."

No less than 29 results appeared - quite a few - but they were clearly from
a different book.  I tried several times with the same result. Other
searches of the book were unexceptional.
