I've just found thisthese sentences in a book: "Welche möchte

"Möchte Sie lieberBanknoten mit Bildern von Kaninchen?", 

and "Möchte Sie" is repeated a couple of lines later, so it's unlikely to be a typo.:

"Welche möchte Sie lieber - mit Bildern von Kaninchen oder von Hunden?"

Is this correct? I would have expected "Möchten Sie".

The sentences are part of a conversation, so it's definitely meant to be 'Sie' rather than 'sie'. Also, the book is "A Second German Reader" by Elisabeth May (Kindle edition, 2012), so it's supposed to be teaching me modern German.

Is "Möchte Sie" acceptable?
