But metadata update should find the book even with a single author inserted (as long as it is correct).

The problem is Metadata source data is flaky. It may not have a co-author.

Many times I display the cover (Info pane) and type in the additional author as I see it
The problem is, at least using Goodreads my preferred Metadata source, the actual author doesn't match to Tom Clancy or the one listed on the book cover. I'm talking about the Net Force, Ops Center, and such series where Tom Clancy is the "creator" but not the actual author even though his name is splashed all over the cover. The written by author that is usually listed on the cover is a David Michaels who, as far as I've found, is a pseudonym for 3 or 4 different ghost writers. Yeah, the whole thing is screwy.
