Hi,

I got a copy of this book through paperbackswap.com

The problem you describe is probably because the title page is in a very 
fancified font which 
the scanner software took to be a picture and converted to unreadable text.

I'll take the book for validation this evening if it is still there and 
hopefully there is enough 
copyright information for me to accept it and do the rest of the validation.

Mike
