Random quote: The living tongue that tells the word, the living ear that hears it, bind and bond us in the communion we long for in the silence of our inner solitude. -- Ursula Le Guin (The Wave in the Mind)

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?
