Hey, I checked out the reference to the project Gutenberg page, and that's the only reference to the title in which I see Leah Mordecai. The text of the book itself uses the title 'Leah Mordecai' on the first line. It seems very evident from both the book and all other references to it outside of the title on the Upenn gutenberg mirror and on wikipedia, that the original title is actually Leah Mordecai. For example, see these pages:
Title "Leah Mordecai" as found through an online book catalog
Title "Leah Mordecai" as being shiftily published by Powell's books. They have a right to republish it and charge for it - it's public domain... but it's not like they're putting it to print again, they're just charging for people to get it as a PDF online, whereas it can and should obtained for free from Project Gutenberg. Those people have no class.
Forbe's book club's reference to the book as "Leah Mordecai"
The "A novel." part was actually a line after the title on the title page, like many authors included in the 19th century. See Steppenwolf, for example. Even today, many publishers as tradition note the form of the book under the title on the title page. The confusion probably stemmed from the mistake in the title on the UPenn site referenced. - Monk of the highest order 21:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Just trying to participate in the project to add pages linking of project Gutenberg...
Maybe there's a stub template I should put in the page?
Still a newbie :-(
I've added a few other short pages ... if this is not useful and they're going to be speedily deleted then I'm wasting my time - but I thought I was following the projects guidelines. Any help about how much is minimal or what other template I should be putting in the pages is appreciated. I did verify that they do link correctly to the Project Gutenberg pages ...

ok, that's helpful. I did understand that Project Gutenberg was somewhat of an exception as that's an entire source of public domain works. For the few entries from the Wikipedia Gutenberg project that I edited this morning, they should probably all be deleted. I don't personally know enough about Belle Abbott to write a complete article. I can probably put in enough to create a stub and this - along with hundreds of other books in project Gutenberg probably are worth an entry.
I'll put some additional information in as well as a stub notification and then if you or others on the community still feel like it's better to have no article than what I can come up with I won't argue.
Thanks for the help and patience as I learn the ropes here :-)
I'll update this entry once I've made some changes to the article.

ok, I've updated the entry with what I've been able to find out. Not much as she only wrote one novel. If you or others still feel it's not sufficient I won't argue.
If I don't hear back in a few days (before the 5 day clock is up <smile>) I'll delete the deletion warning.
Thanks, I'll see what I can do about my other short articles too :-)

I suggest that the stub at Leah Mordecai be merged into this article. Richard Pinch ( talk) 19:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
