I have put some handling in for "edited by", but I'm not sure it is correct. All I am doing is ignoring the "edited by". That means that for the example given, I am assuming the author is just "James H. Schmitz". For this case, I think it is correct. For others, it might not be.
The changes might have fixed the problem with "Phoenix Ascendant". I didn't do anything specific for this, but I can't reproduce the problem today.
As usual, please report any problems. A link to the problem book is really handy, as is a copy of the logs. If everything is OK, I'll arrange for a release sometime next week.

Phoenix Ascendant appears to work correctly now. However, I had an eARC end up with a completely wrong title --
Carousel Seas eARC was returned as Carousel Tides (non-eARC).
Another issue: When the Series information is already set, but with a different series name than Baen has chosen, the plugin overrides that to
Baen Series Name [1]. I'm sure I'm not alone in having some series listed in Calibre with a different name than Baen has chosen to use. My personal preference would be for the series information to be written ONLY when there isn't something there already.
For example, with the Carousel series, the author (and I) have chosen to refer to it as the Archer's Beach series, so the eARC was in Calibre as Archer's Beach [3]. That was overwritten to Carousel [1]. On another book,
When the Devil Dances, where I used the same exact series name as Baen, the behaviour was correct. It did not overwrite the series index.
