About the author

Various

1,355 followers
Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

If you play guitar this should be in your toolbox. Recommend the digital version. I’ve seen reviews that it’s pocket size and hard for some to see the diagrams. Highly recommend this to every player.
