I'm surprised no one has brought up the matter of author attribution, where the name in big bright flashing letters is already famous and now resting on their laurels, and the one in tiny print in the corner is the one that actually did the work that the publisher is now trying to palm off on you under false pretences.
There are many examples, but for the full Where's Wally experience you need to look to someone like Clive Cussler with co-authors hidden in red-print over explosions and other such tricks.
