I've played around with calibre a bit and know some of the basics. I know that you can have multiple authors for a book.

But is there an effective limit for how many Authors you're willing to put into the author field on a book? Maybe 6 and after that you just cite "multiple authors" or something? I've got some anthologies, so they cite each of the authors. I'm not sure its a good idea to cite a dozen authors for one book. Oh, and there is no editor listed.

Comments or suggestions?
