Now I'm really confused. I don't see the word "and" anywhere in the metadata
for The Coral Reef. Its authors are Karen Zipkas <dot> Mark Norman. And if you
look on its book information page, you can find "Other books by Karen Zipkas"
and "Other books by Mark Norman", meaning that the system thinks that they are
two separate authors.
I may have solved the mystery. I just copied the author field over to this
email, and it was copied as "Karen Zipkas and Mark Norman" even though on the
screen it's Karen Zipkas <dot> Mark Norman. Maybe whenever the system sees the
<dot> between author names, it says "and" instead. Has it always done this, or
is this saying "and" new?
In any event, the system is not concatenating two author names as one, which
was my main concern.

Hi Carrie,
Two of them are The Coral Reef, and The Grand
Inquisitor. There are more, I know. But I found these two in the
second hundred books.
