77-81 are finished. Most were empty authors.I should also note to the other librarians, that searching for the book on the web will sometimes yield the full, and more commonly used, name of the author.

Regardless of "full" or "commonly used" author name -- which can be an additional author on the book -- goodreads policy (unless changed since I was a librarian) was to make primary author name on the book the author name as appears on the book but formatted as necessary for goodreads database standards.
( As an example, if author Georgie Boogie now has a new publisher and a popular series showing "Georgie Boogie" on bookcover and on a goodreads author profile—
but on an older book showed "G C Boogie" or a pseudonym of "Duke Rockem" then for that older book the primary author would be "G.C. Boogie" or "Duke Rockem" with an optional secondary author of "Georgie Boogie" and librarian notes about the various author names on the author profiles. If any of the older books were reprinted with newer version of author name, editions of book would get combined but primary author after combining would still be the author name shown on each edition cover.)
I see. A big problem with most of these books we see from these authors is blank covers, so it makes it tough to check out what the actual book cover says.
Yes; plus tiny or blurry covers where it's hard to see what punctuation is over characters like ü, ū, ú, è, é, ė…or bookcovers images from sites goodreads not allowed to use. Always very helpful when goodreads members who own the book take the time to upload a photograph, scan or screenshot of their personal books—generally much better than some website tiny thumbnail image (particularly websites that don't care if cover is exact match for the particular isbn/edition).
