No, actually “compleat” is spelled correctly and used appropriately. She didn't mean “complete” and in “entire or whole”, but rather “compleat” as in:

com·pleat (km-plt) adj.
1. Of or characterized by a highly developed or wide-ranging skill or proficiency: “The compleat speechwriter … comes to anonymity from Harvard Law” Israel Shenker.
2. Being an outstanding example of a kind; quintessential: “Here was the compleat modern misfit: the very air appeared to poison him; his every step looked treacherous and hard won” Stephen Schiff.

Heh. “Compleat” is an alternative spelling most often used for literary anthologies.

Just trying to keep the Haggard/New Life saga classy.
