On 255:

Having problems with X and Z myself (and I know a lot of Greek-derived words for X!) I canʻt pretend that my last X, a book on Xerxes (5th c. B.C.) in Dutch flew into my mind when thinking of an X title.

X > XImenes: "Ximenes (Jimenez in Modern Spanish ) doesnʻt seem so strange to me, because I have some knowledge of Old Spanish.

Q: not so difficult yet, but I needed help for my title beginning with "Quaternions. . .".

For Z, maybe we could pretend that one edition of Hopeʻs The Prisoner of Zenda calls him "The Zenda Prisoner"!

#258: Dunno about anyone else, but I do a text search on the page before I post a title, to make sure it's not been up before. Seems we should probably try to do a new title each time; that's part of the challenge. Though of course it's going to get harder with those less-used letters!

I wish ampersands were the only thing Touchstones* didnʻt like. Theyʻre also not enamored of ordinary apostrophes (which in writing Polynesian languages are also used as glottal stops).

(b) books with some interesting theme or link (eg 298, 353), or
