Two books on the list are by Pam Pierce not Pam Peirce.

I've separated Pam Pierce from Pam Peirce. Everything look okay now?

If you run across this sort of thing again, you can ask for help in the Combiners! group.

ETA: Oh, and it helps if you touchstone names to provide easy links; just place two sets of brackets around the author's name.

Square brackets, though, not angle brackets or squiggly ones.

>3 lilithcat: The squiggly ones are called braces.

I have split the Pam Pierce page. I can't find any information for Pam Pierce 2, but the chances that she is the same person as Pam Pierce 1 are tiny.

For one thing, the few references I found to the book (https://www.librarything.com/work/23264046/details/168969848) on line did not include an author name. Google did not want me to open the publisher's website.

Sometimes. They're also called curly brackets, and "squiggly brackets" is perfectly understandable.

Yep what lorax said. In the UK the standard usage is brackets for (), square brackets for [] and curly brackets for {}

Whilst the OP is in the US and likely to understand parentheses, brackets and braces that isn't true of other English speaking countries. Fortunately the Touchstones to the right when composing a post should be a big enough clue to people.

On Amazon, one Pam Pierce writes with her husband Chuck Pierce: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B85CK2W/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&b... They wrote The Rewards of Simplicity: A Practical and Spiritual Approach

For Spelling Simplified I did find a book in many places but with a slightly different title and different authors as you can see from the touchstone.
