[The Penguin]

Not The Mill on the Floss?

[rogerr]

I still can't see this--would some kind person explain it please?

[Quizmonster]

0.0001% = a millionth...deduct one = millonth...following = f...deficit = loss...you = thee, which is around the word 'millonth'...all for a book title.

[Quizmonster]

I should have added that the title is, of course, the one provided by The Penguin.

[rogerr]

Thanks QM--I was trying to connect it to K's answer--no wonder I couldn't!
