Not sure if 'Metathesized" is a word, but I'm referring to metathesis, the
process of letter reversal that has given us so many wonderful words. 
Specifically, the list of books to validate contains the following entry:

     Women and Money,   by Suze Roman.

Suze, of course, is pronounced Suzy, but more importantly, her last name
is Orman, not Roman.

Had the chance to meet her at a book signing in Minneapolis, and she
couldn't have projected more genuine warmth!  Anyway, I didn't atempt to
correct this, as it may not make a difference at this stage, but perhaps
it does.

How about, "The Rise and Fall of the Ormn Empire?"
