Just a reminder to use the method described in the rules to determine page numbers for ebooks. No need to repost, the paperback version (144 pages) still fits the task criteria.

From the default rules: "We treat hyphenated words, including names, as one word. Therefore, John Jones-Smith has the initials JJ, not JS."
Aliya Ali-Afzal therefore is AA and is not a match for an IATA code.

My bad. It was actually on page 2 not page 17. I reposted with the right page # from the list.

I'm sorry. It's my first time participating. I shouldn't delete what I posted earlier but post my two books seperately again then. Is that correct?
