Hi Alan,

 From that first author on the search page...

...if you trace this record back to its root on Amazon, you'll see that the 
encoding is b0rked there too:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/2130437850

There might be something we could add in the import process from Amazon to try 
to address this encoding problem - we'll look into it.

Feel free to either try to fix or report any more you find.

Cheers,
george
