Bloophole in LIAGB

I think there may be bloophole in 'Lost in a Good Book'.
On page 347, (I'm talking about the UK paperback edition here) about one third of the way down, Thursday switches clothes with Cordelia in order to escape her apartment, which is being watched by Goliath and SpecOps. Then, at the start of the new paragraph, two thirds of the way down the same page, Thursday switches back into her own clothes whilst in David's hired Studebaker. How did she get her own clothes back from Cordelia, who presumably was wearing them back in Thursday's apartment? Has David been stalking Thursday? Has he been robbing her washing line and stashing her clothes in his car? I really am not sure.
I have already emailed Jasper about this. Does anyone know the correct email address? I've found two different ones on the site. (Please don't write it correctly in full - to avoid email trawlers, i.e. use 'at' instead of '@').
Regards,

Can't quite remember, and I don't have my books with me at the moment, but since they were in Thursday's apartment when the switch was made, couldn't she have grabbed some extra clothes or something?

Perhaps he's a transvestite who happens to have the same clothes as her?

I go with Thursday taking a change of her own clothes out in a bag.
Clothes roll up quite small

Spyder: Isn't email(at)jasperfforde(dot)com the address to use?
If you emailed and didn't get a reply, that's normal. I assume he's a pretty busy guy. But I know that they're out there, and they do listen...because I talked to Mari once.
I think that it could be easily explained away, but good eye for spotting that!!
Did you check the "Upgrades" page?
