My Japanese isn't great but I've sent a correction to your name changing the Fox to Foy. If they accept this correction I'll see if I can change the information about authors (though I think Randal is listed as having written a preface and not one of the main authors of the book).

He's not. Maybe Amazon has a way to correct that? The US site has a way to correct bibliographic information. Huh, not only that, but they list Randal as an author. He’s not.

People just can't believe that it could end in a "y". People still wonder why I need a <a href="http://www252.pair.com/comdog/style.html" rel="nofollow">style guide for my name</a>, but I've been dealing with this forever. What really boggles me is why they change it from the input data anyway. Just leave it alone.
