About the author

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.

Just finished a reread of this anthology-a perfect companion to an NYC trip! I'm a big fan of Reyes' City Lit collections, and have added a number of books to my Amazon basket as a result!
