Come on! Is this a joke or what?
Binding designer: Use for a person or organization responsible for the binding design of a book, including the type of binding, the type of materials used, and any decorative aspects of the binding.
Caster: A person, family, or organization involved in manufacturing a resource by pouring a liquid or molten substance into a mold and leaving it to solidify to take the shape of the mold.
Medium: A person held to be a channel of communication between the earthly world and a different world.
Seller: A former owner of an item who sold that item to another owner.
Setting aside the often difficult translation of all these terms (not these in particular) to other languages. Do we really need or want such a vast selection of different minor roles, most of them never related to ebooks? Wouldn't it be better to simply give a list and a link to some online resource? Seriously, this is insane.

On the other hand, I realize it is difficult to draw the line, and easy to just copy the full list in the English version and let the translators deal with that.
