Does Alexander McCall Smith work or W. Bruce Cameron?
Mod
Alexander McCall Smith would work, W. Bruce Cameron would not - "Names with initials may NOT be used. "
Does "Names with initials does not count" include where it may say James Tynion IV for example?
Mod
From FAQ
Relational suffixes, such as Jr., III, etc. do not count as part of the name for SRC purposes.
Just FYI - please include links with questions
Does the rule about initials mean that you cannot use a book by an author who uses three names plus an initial? I am thinking of reading a book by Ursula K. Le Guin and wondered if this would work as the initial isn’t one of the three names.
Mod
Any initial in a name disqualifies an author.
Sorry, that doesn't work.

The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Philip Henry Gosse who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and coined the term "aquarium" when he published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea, in 1854.
Read a book written by a single author who uses a three-part name: first, middle, last. Spaces determine names. Names with initials may NOT be used.
