Some British prices are entered in the format "£3.49", but many (especially those entered long ago) use the format "L3.49". In the publication records, this later format is recognized, and the price is displayed used the "£" symbol. However, in the Title display, this recognition is not built in, hence the prices are listed as "L ...". This should be corrected so that the title record correctly displays such prices using the English pound symbol.
Reference example is <http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?13306>, "After Silence" by Jonathan Carroll, where one publication record appears using the "£" symbol and one appears using the "L" symbol.
