The record you found was created prior to publication for the British
National Bibliography (BNB), on the assumption that it would be
published in the UK and would be part of the Library's legal deposit
intake. It may worth pointing out that records created prior to
publication, on the basis of information provided by the publisher,
sometimes contain inaccurate data.
Ah: that was probably the person they _wanted_ to write the book ;-)
The item was however published in the United States and was ineligible
for the BNB. The BL subsequently purchased this item; this has been
catalogued and correctly attributed. When I searched our "Search our
catalogue" under the title "Presenting XML", your book was the first hit.

We will take steps to delete the incorrect record from our catalogue
but it will remain in our rdf/xml dataset until we update this data.
William may want to delete it from his version of our data set.
Thanks for the explanation. Of course (on reflection!) it shouldn't be
in the BNB. Any thoughts on the suggestion of a zip download, or maybe
FTP support? I've tried three methods of downloading - all failed
("file too big", essentially).
