Dear friend Longodi, an error on your part? You've done everything right so far. The last letter of Joseph's entry is an “L”, so the first letter of the new entry must be an “L”.

Whoops. My Bad. I don't know what happened there...Here is the correct one:

Little Bit Patter, A

(Stephen Minch, By Forces Unseen (1993), p.199)

Thanks for the correction, longodi.
Allow me to add a small note:
the originator of this handling is not Stephen Minch, but Ernest Erick.
So your source entry could begin: “(Ernest Erick in Stephen Minch's book By Forces...)”


Postscript: "Face-Up Ace Cutting" also has an originator: GERALD KOSKY.

I was actually wondering how to correctly cite from books with differing authors and creators.
There wasn't a consistent style used throughout this thread so I opted for the simple solution of just citing the book.
