A riddle:
As most of you know, I work in a library.
My library has a particular two-volume title.
Volume 1 is 'A through M'; volume 2 is 'N through W'.
This is the complete series; there is no volume 3.

So why does volume 2 only cover 'N-W' instead of 'N-Z'?


(Yes, there's a real answer. A hint would be that the title of the book would give you another hint. And there's another hint somewhere in this entry.)

Alphabetically, that would cover the names of all fifty states. It would also cover all forty-three presidents' surnames. :-)

My guess was gonna be the states one. Didn't even think of the presidents.
