But I _would_ like to see some legislation come out to protect consumers a little - eg. the real author's name and no-one else's must be on the front cover. Back cover can contain whatever crap necessary. This whole concept of famous people - authors included - sitting back and cashing in on their reputation while getting other people to do their work for them... GRRRRR. Fine, do it, but ya gotta put every writers' name on the front cover. That'd stop em dead! *mutter*

I'd expect that a lot of authors would probably just be happy with a cut of the money rather than have their names associated with the book.
