The book trade has delivered its own frank verdict of the England football team's poor performance in the 2010 World Cup, with the memoir of England footballer Frank Lampard appearing online on booksellers' websites under the title "Totally Rank". The proper title for the book, which is published by HarperCollins, should be Totally Frank (9780007382217).
The mistake appears to date back to the publication of the digital edition at the end of April, with the typo appearing on the bibliographic record of the ebook.
