Consider the author sort tweaks and the FN LN/LN, FN issues. In this case the tweak is semantically appropriate and affects calibre in the ways that are predictable, but it is unapproachable by a great many people. My feeling is that this is true because it describes 'effects' and not 'goals'. Using books for authors is a bigger version of this -- using the notion of 'book' to achieve the effect of managing something quite separate. I could go on, but I am beginning to bore myself, so it is obviously time to climb off my box.

No please do let me know if I will come a cropper later on if you see issues arising.
It's just a simple idea. Make a Book, and have the title be the Authors name, it can be anything relevant really.
I don't really see why this book, would not sit well, while other books do, sorry I'm not into programming, more of a designer
The only thing I was wondering was if the Calibre community would want to do these books themselths, or have others help in creating a whole lot of them. To that end all that needs doing is a list of which Authors are being done, and where you can download them.
I do like you idea kovid, the simple you can make it the better, I can see already how complicated this program is
Do you see any issues in the idea I described?
