The first letters of the missing words spell out a title (without the definite article) and author, in an alternating pattern (e.g. CDAOTG would spell CAT DOG).
To solve the whole puzzle, type BOTH the title and the FULL NAME of the author in either order, which will fill in all remaining blanks.
Years in the "date due" column indicate year published.
