Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Books from the following authors have a lot of nook editions (bnid 294### in isbn13 field) with purchase links crashing due to dummy isbn10 numbers in isbn field needing to be removed.

The bookcover on this edition (a public domain remix so certainly not the original and could be easily wrong):
The Truth about Sweet Clover - Its Value for Honey, for Plowing Under, as a Fertilizer of the Soil, and Food for Horses, Cattle, Swine, Sheep, Etc; An by Charles C. Miller says author is "Charles C. Miller"

The other author names on the books look like possibly end with other author (Collection found in? Co-author? illustrator? Translator? Editor? Library/school found in?) names. That is, possibly the author of these books should be just plain Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library plus "Charles C. Miller" and possible co-authors instead of author saying:

Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library Max Kuchenm
Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library Johann Leonhard Eyrich
Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library Henry Alley
Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library WU
Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural L

Or else just some sort of imprint or edition info. It wasn't making sense to me with the names after "memorial library."

Fandury | 127 comments I looked into this.

None of the books were writen by Charles C. Miller (who was a famous American beekeeper). But they are old works about beekeeping (all at least 100 years old) and the University of Wisconsin named their department with Apicultural Books after Charles C Miller. I think they are the source used when the books were rereleased and that is why they are associated with this.

But as they are neither authors of this work, nor has Mr. Miller edited any of these works, I eleminated them from the books.
