I've looked and can't find any switch to turn this behavior off. I would like the book title to stay the same as the actual book, without having to go back and changing it again. So, I'm hoping that there is a simple solution to this problem

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you simply found a 'Gotcha' of moving a title through the authors field.

Joe Blow and Sam Smith need to be separated by a &, not 'and' because each Author has its own Author Table record.
When a title lands in the Authors field, it needs to be fixed if it has 'and'

The cure is to use the correct add books REGEX template or use 'read from metadata' (instead of 'from file name')
