1 is fairly straight forward.

Ah, if it's what I think it is (god bless google) I can rest safe in the knowledge that I've never heard of it (I was thinking of another book with that last word in it).

Cheers!

I think its

Ernest Hemmingway

but I stand to be corrected. I didn't bother to check because luckily I had heard of it. Not that having heard of it helped much with 2 or 5.
Did these people used to work for The Sun?

And it was Hemmingway - my girlfriend has read it and didn't get it! She was gutted!

Woowoo!

A head scratching card at first - but they slowly came to me one by one. One of those cards that you pick up one day and try something different/approach from a different angle and 'voila' the answers come to you - and you groan at how devilish, yet easy, some of the answers were! Nice one.

I've heard of them all - alas never read any of them!
Gonna give this card to my English Dept to puzzle over. Hehe.

I'm just evil. I'll set it as a weekly challenge for my Primary Sevens.

Easily my favourite card so far, but then I do work in a book shop.

We have loads of spare time, and all of those book in stock, which made this card have an extra level of treasure-hunty-ness (which is a word)

Help! I think Ive figured them all out, but cant seem to get the computer to accept my answers, just keep getting "incorrect"! Im pretty sure Im spelling them all right and have tried with and without apostrophes (where appropriate) but with no luck...

Any ideas?

Ed: Oops, sorry, was thinking of the wrong card!

OK, so now I remember which card we're talking about, spoiler mark the answers you've been putting in and someone should be able to help.

Well they are all correct. As far as I remember the last one needs an apostrophe. Is it a Firefox / IE thing again?

I think it is just the apostrophe...But it is a while now since I solved it.

I solved this card last week, and I'm pretty sure that the last one doesn't have an apostrophe. Looks to me that it may be a bug. Either that or my memory's worse than I thought

I've just checked my notes for this card, and I have exactly the same answers as listed by Total_Serendipity (other than I used capitals in the first one).
For the record, I checked on Amazon and the correct title for the last one does not have an apostrophe.
