OK.  Has anyone else remarked upon the fact that the book description
displayed so many delirious weeks ago on Amazon.com promised a cameo
by "Nikola Tesla", while the front-flap copy says "Nikolai Tesla"?

The latter spelling only gets about 22,000 hits on Google, compared to
1,460,000 for the former.  The first bunch of hits for the "Nikolai"
spelling come either from pages whose authors I wouldn't hold to high
standards or from websites actually saying "Nikola" but making
provision for misspellings (e.g., Wikipedia provides a "redirect
page").
