Markd9528's Fawlty Book Icon Challenge: Pedantry at It's Finest

This is a serius challenge for list publisher's and may provide sum amusement four the rest of you. While checking off the icons see if you can also figure out why I consider them less than perfect. You may need to examine the book cover closely to decide which book was actually meant to be included.
1,5,8: Title Misspelled
6,12,17: Author Misspelled
4,8,9,11: Author Not Entered
9: Faulty capitalisation
10,13: Poor cropping of cover ("eat Fire Hazard" (10), author not visible (13))
7: Duplication of the title in the author's field (my most frequent error)
2: Too cutesy (only joking)
3,4: Title field doesn't match actual book title ('and' in the title doesn't make it into 2 books)
13: Accents lacking on non-English title (?too pedantic)
14: Spaces between initials (messes up sorting)
15: Who is Stavans?
16: Give us a cover, not philosophy
18: Look Inside?
19: Multiple (misspelling, title in Spanish when book written in English, ugly dude(s) on cover (depending on political views))
