Author names coming up strange when download metadata
I've found that when downloading metadata the author name comes up strange when there are two or more authors. I am pretty sure it is only when Barnes & Noble is one of the sources.

Instead of Author A and Author B the result will be Author A & Author BAuthor A & Author B.

To resolve this temporarily, I have disabled Barnes and Noble as a source but wonder if that is the best way to deal with this.

I've seen this with single authors too:

I hadn't got to the point of figuring out which plug-in was doing it yet.

I've also seen this behavior for awhile. And it is definitely the B&N metadata download. It does make some names interesting. Could it be a problem with the Barnes & Noble plugin needing to be updated?

@LadyKate - rather than disabling B&N entirely, you could disable the downloading of the Author(s) column from B&N via Preferences->Download Metadata: select B&N in the left hand list, uncheck Authors in the right hand list.
