I just checked Auckland University Library's on-line catalogue and found
SEVEN entries with 'dilemna' in them, doing a keyword search.  Six
occurrences were in titles, the seventh in a blurb.  One of the occurrences
was flagged <sic> indicating that the cataloguer recognised the misspelling.
Four of the books were published in London, one in New York, one in Reston,
Virginia, and one in Auckland.

This is horrifying!  I had never seen this spelling until this thread
brought it to my attention.  Now I'll never be able to overlook it.  It's
like a doctor opening up a patient to remove an appendix and finding him
riddled with cancer!!
