I've always wondered why Bookshare didn't use a different flag for separating authors instead of a comma. This goes back to the beta test days, when it was pointed out that breaking down multiple authors by a comma results in authors such as Phd., Jr., II, etc. It wouldn't be hard to use a semi-colon, or |, or something such as a ^, at least from the software perspective. It would probably however, be much more difficult to get submitters and editors to adopt the methodology.

My bad, sorry about that.  I forgot the coma.  I shouldn't submit books
