[bksvol-discuss] "and" in author names






Hello all.  Following up on the problem with short synopsis, I have 
another 
complaint.  Please do not put "and" in author names.  If there are 
multiple 
authors, please separate them with commas.  Thanks.  I know Jesse will 
back 
me up on this since it specifically says this in the validation 
instructions.  It makes it hard to find authors otherwise.  Recently, with 

_Glorious Appearing_, the author, singular, was listed as Tim Lahaye and 
Jerry Jenkins.  They should have been listed separately as two different 
people.  Yes, I will fix that when I get it validated.

One final note.  Please proofread the titles of books.  I know most of you 

do that, but with one Star Trek book, it was listed as "startrek: a time 
to 
die."  Yes, all lower case and two words ran together.  If a book belongs 
to a certain series, please put the series in the title since bookshare 
will not allow searching by synopsis at this time.  Thanks.  I am sorry 
for 
ranting, but I am also worried about the quality.  These two problems are 
right after one book being submitted a bunch of times with different 
authors, thus clogging up the validation page.
