I'm just taking a wild guess...

but I'm guessing that if you set a name with spaces, it'll be replaced
with "_"(underscore).

A couple of ways around this is to
1) figure out a way to assign a one-word name for all your
books(e.g. Code, ID number, etc.)
2) generate a hash code(e.g. md5($row['LITERATURE_title'])) will
generate a one word(no spaces).

If this is going to be a library application, you can always use
"ISBNXXXXXXXXX"(no spaces, no dashes), since the idea is that every book
has a unique ISBN number....
