Any suggestions?
Being unable to remove a solo author is a bug. The workaround is to add a new author, then click the red [x] next to the first author, hit save. You now have a book with no author. I tested with your example and it worked: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL9838343W/Tales_of_Fools_and_Wise_Folk -- Edward. _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
