Hi Sue,
I don't have a sighted person here to look at the screen, but later tonight, I
will ask Tony to look at some of these titles on the "new books" page and see
what he can tell me.
Maybe we'll be able to figure something out. *smile*
Blessings.

Hi Lynnsky!!
Bravo for yoou! That is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for these
examples because I did not know how to copy them. But Carrie still may not
believe it. She said that when she copies them to an email it shows up as and.
Carrie, go to it like we would, not like you would.

Hi Carrie and Sue,
I didn't read the beginning of this thread so I hope I'm not misunderstanding
what you're referring to, Sue.
On the (browse new books) page books by multiple authors are being presented
with an "and" between author names. Here are some examples I copied from that
page.

Martin And Meditations On The South Valley by Baca, Jimmy Santiago .
and Levertov, Denise
How To Be An Egyptian Princess by Morley, Jacqueline .
and Hewetson, Nicholas J.
Japanese Light by Baldwin, Jan .
and Barber, Kimiko

Hi Sue,
When I look at the new books page, I see dots between author names, no
"and"s anywhere in the author field. Maybe screen readers convert dots to
"and"s? No idea.

Carrie,
When I look at the new books page, I see it as "and". That is how I found
those two examples today. I did not get them from John's list. Not on the
book information page, but on the page people see before they click on that
page.

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.
Carrie

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.
