Hi gang, Good news! It looks like Engineering has fixed the problem, where books would fail if the author's first name is an initial. You can now submit books without having to smush the initials together. The bad news is that the bug has moved to the publisher field. If you try to submit a book and it fails, please remove anything in the publisher field in the metadata and try again. Yes, Engineering is aware of this bug and is working on a solution. Thanks!
