title should^W have^W now has no space between the "...tion" and the ":" - see title page, see cover, see normal written english language usage.
(bookcat searches etc. will not sort titles correctly if extraneous additional spaces are interpolated.)
(- nor, indeed, if the space after the period (full stop) following an initial is omitted - so "w. e. johns" won't be sorted or searched for if it's incorrectly entered as "w.e. johns" or as "w.e.johns" when a book by him is added to bookcat/45worlds.)
