This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Part of the serial 'SPELL OF THE CIRCUS'. Original claimant 'Parat.ount Publix Corp.' is a typo for 'Paramount Publix Corp.' Original number L2485 is likely LP2485.”
