Thank you for the information on Polish. I have added it to my main toolbar.

Now, back to the issue. I have done some additional experimentation. I compared the data that iTunes sees with two different volumes. I used the purchased (DRM) copy of 16th Seduction and the regular (non-DRM) 15th Affair. Both are shown in calibre as authored by “James Patterson & Maxine Paetro”. However, in iTunes, 16th Seduction shows the authors as “James Patterson & Maxine Paetro”, but 15th Affair as only “James Patterson”. When I checked the “Sort as” field in iTunes, I found 16th Seduction was shown as “James Patterson & Maxine Paetro” and 15th Affair as “James Patterson & Maxine Paetro”. Finally, when I checked the files in the directory for iTunes on my PC, both books are in the folder “…Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Books\James Patterson & Maxine Paetro”.

My conclusion? The issue is not anything calibre can address. The programmers of “Apple Book” have an issue they will probably never address since it does not concern eBooks purchased from their site. It is one of the issues I will address when I talk to the genius at Apple.
