Hi, Louise!  In that case, you should put both titles in the title field
with either a comma or the word And between them.  I know, it's kind of
tricky to figure out. <Smile>

  Both titles are listed on the cover.

    Louise,  what does the  title of the book on the cover say?
    The title field in the Bookshare book record should simply reflect that
title,  in its entirety,  but without additions or elaborations.  E.g.

    Scrumptious Twinshot

    The authors should be listed separated by a comma, in the order you find
them in the book,  with first name first and last name last.  E.g.

    John Burns, Mary Grimalkyna

    In The short synopsis you can list the titles with correct author
attributions.  E.g.

    Omnibus contains two hilarious novels about good food and murder:
Deadly Stew by John Burns, and The Killer Straberry Pie by Mary Grimalkyna.

    In the long synopsis you can give a little more info about each title.

    By the way,  the novels listed above are not in the collection.  They
were written pseudonymously by you guessed. .. Aloysius Q. Schmaltsenstein
Gavronsky.

    Should I put a comma or the word "and" between the two titles so a
person could find each one individually or do they have to be listed
together?  As I mentioned before, each novel is separate in itself and were
at one time published separately, but in this instance  they were printed in
the same volume, one right after the other.  I don't like submitting any
multi-novel in one volume book!  If there are several titles and authors, I
never know how they should be listed in the title, author and copyright
areas!

    Use the most recent copyright date.
    In the long synopsis tell a little about each novel.  Try summarizing
what you find for each novel in the volume.  Make it look like two longish
short synopses jammed into one.

    I recently scanned a double book.  There were two novels.  Each has a
    different copyright date, but they're both by the same author.  How do I
    indicate this when I submit it?  The book also had a synopsis for both
    novels, but I don't think it'll fit in the long synopsis area.
Apparently
    these books were also published separately, but this time they call it a
    double western.  Thanks.     Louise
