Question Duplicate authors in Metadata
Hi, when I download metadata, all choices have duplicate authors.

For example,

The Firm
John Grisham & John Grisham.

Is this normal and if not, how do I fix?

It's not normal. At least it doesn't happen to me. You should edit the author field to have just one.

It sounds like either the metadata source you are using is returning bad data or the program you are using to download metadata source is buggy.
