Well, these are wrong in our system; yours may differ:

DBC19303 and DBC27761: Both have a narrator entry of a period (.). DBC19303 is narrated by the author, DBC27761 is a group nareration. You can add these entries if you want, it is up to you: Sally Abrams, Alan Sicherman, Andrew Judson, Suzanne Livingston, Sharon Metcalf, Mary Caven. They are also both missing the annotations

DBC19303: "Sasha taqwšeblu LaPointe, a Coast Salish indigenous woman, has always longed for a sense of home. As a child her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. As an adolescent determined to escape the poverty and abuse of her childhood in order to build a better future for herself and her people, Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, with little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother, a linguist who helped preserve her indigenous language of Lushootseed and one in a long line of powerful ancestors. Exploring what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art while offering an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas as well as the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples, Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience and above all the ability to heal that chronicles Sasha's struggles navigating a collapsing marriage while answering the call to greater purpose. Set against a backdrop of tour vans and the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk--an ethos that challenges us to reclaim what's rightfully ours: our histories, our power, our traditions, and our truths--Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to heal while fighting for our right to a place to call home."-- Provided by publisher

DBC27761: After rescuing a healthy little girl from a French-German leper village during WWII, John Severson is diagnosed with leprosy and sent into
forced quarantine at Louisiana's Witch Tree leprosarium. After escaping from Witch Tree, Severson winds up as the sheriff of Hawaii's
Molokai leper colony where he becomes a crusader for its neglected citizens.

Lastly, DB 91219 had a narrator heading that was just the number 1; it is, in fact, narrated by María Pino.
