Cannot reproduce. I only get the one, expected, failure.

% python -m doctest books.py
**********************************************************************
File "books.py", line 12, in books.book_title
Failed example:
    book_title('the WORKS OF AleXANDer dumas')
Expected:
    'The Works of Alexander Dumas'
Got:
    'The Works Of Alexander Dumas'
**********************************************************************
1 items had failures:
   1 of   3 in books.book_title
***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
