Books with co-editors

[John]

"State by State" ISBN 0061470902 is a collection of 50 essays by 50 writers, with two co-editors, but it seems the system isn't set up to indicate that, so the best I could do was to have one person as "author" and one "editor" - is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!

The two editors should both be listed with their name and (Editor) in the 'more detail' box. They are both in the system then, but the db will create an 'author' page for each of them.
They should be in the order they appear on the cover.

If you have the book handy and want to put the rest of the details in, you can list out the essays or just the authors in the book details field.

If any of the authors are already prominent writers, you can add them in the 'other author' fields as well, with (Contributor) after their name. This will help to link their work together, but there is no need (and no room) for all 50 authors, IMO.

Thanks - I couldn't get that solution to work earlier, but now it does; I might go through later and add the contributors who have other works listed here as well (Sarah Vowell, Ha Jin, etc.).

You're welcome. = )
