Must we add all contributors or can we add only our high interest author?

I think one edition is OK because the main purpose of adding them is so that the title will get to the contributors' author page. But maybe I'm just lazy.

I think that sort by works well only when the author is primary. All secondary author works sort after the works where the author is primary. But maybe Rivka will come in and sort us both out. ;-)

I'm assuming you mean contributors to an anthology.
Other contributors, like translators or narrators are specific for some editions only.

It is always preferred to add all known book data when that is possible.

That is a very nice, soft lashing against my being lazy. Sometimes there are 6-7 editions with 25 or more authors. :-(

Oh, please keep on listing all of them in the big request thread. I think it's better to get them all at once than piecemeal. I have that one marked for notifications.

I'll just monitor my available time to respond if it ends up being a bigger request. That way, I can allot enough time rather than making it a "drive-by" (for me) response.
