Aspell provides a wrapper for ispell-like invocation. Is there any known failure in this wrapper? If not, is there a reason to keep ispell in the book?
There is a reason to drop ispell from the book: it doesn't support encodings other than the one used for preparation of the dictionary. I.e., the Russian dictionary is useless in ru_RU.UTF-8 locale because it is encoded in KOI8-R, not UTF-8, and would thus mark all words as misspellings.
OTOH, aspell has the switch for specifying the input encoding, and it automatically converts between that encoding, the dictionary encoding and the locale encoding as needed.
Also, ispell is miscompiled in the book anyway (please change "#define NO8BIT" to "#undef NO8BIT" in local.h so that ispell becomes 8-bit clean)
