It's successful if you follow the rules: http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_2.html#Formatting-Names in this case, you're not using "and" to join the authors, so the name parser thinks there's only a single name. > Additionally, I see that if I double-click on an author name in the > top-right list window when looking at paper entry in the detail view, > the address book pops up.
