When compared to the original Book Lust, the editors of More Book Lust did a much better job catching errors. Simply put, there are less mistakes all the way around. My lists are much shorter than with Book Lust, but unfortunately I still have lists:
Authors forgotten in the index:
- Aristophane
- Bharti Kirchner
- Lysistrata
- Jessica Maxwell
- Kenneth Tynan
- Eric Schlosser
Books forgotten in the index:
- Bingo
- Dale Loves Sophie to Death
- Gone Fishin’
- Histories
- Inheritance
- Italy: a travelers literary companion (It’s listed as Travelers Literary Companion)
- Loose Lips
- Man in My Basement
- Murder Carries a Torch
- Naked Lunch
- Thorn Birds
- Youngblood
- Your Mouth is Lovely
Poetry forgotten in the index:

- How All This Started
- Jane Eyre
- Allen Kurzweil
- Mark Salzman
- Wuthering Heights
Typos:
- Carfish Cafe should be Catfish Cafe
- King of the Mountain has the wrong author credit
- They Hand, Great Anarch! should be Thy Hand…
- Better off: Pulling the Switch should be Better off: Flipping the Switch (to be fair, I found this odd title in several different libraries. They list the subtitle as “pulling the switch” when the cover reads, “flipping the switch.” As an aside, I don’t know of anyone who pulls a switch. They either pull a plug or flick a switch.
- Letters of Kenneth Tynan should be just Letters.
Authors bolded like a book title by mistake:
- Michael Allin
- Gillian Bradshaw
- Anita Brookner
- David Halberstam
- Christopher Hibbert
- James Hynes
- Laurie Lee
