I did this, but cut it off at an author's name as I described above. The result is:

Given that one can tap to go to book details and see all the authors with links, I don't see the need to add that complexity into the book list. Trying to distinguish between a tap to see authors and a tap to see book details would be hard, with results potentially frustrating for the user.
