Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Why, yes there is!
https://www.worldswithoutend.com/books_year_index.asp?navi=&Year=1998 

It appears to be because the Tiptree has 1 winner and 26 Finalists that year, which is probably above the expected limit for finalists for one year, which is programmed into the page's formatting. 

Good catch.

That's what it is.  The code wraps the rows after 8 books but does not account for more than 16.  Whargoul is going to fix it.

Could something similar be behind the problem with the 'Space Opera' advanced search? The addition of all the Star Wars novels exceeding a limit on the number of results returned?
