Library cataloguers have been handling this problem since time immemorial with "See" and "See also" references. The author's name on the PG book should be the same as the name on the title page.

Library cataloguers have been sorting books under one unified name for a long time. The Library of Congress, for example, has empty "See" references to the normalized name. To do otherwise is extra complexity; 99% of the time it will just be a variation on which initials are expanded, and the author's name is likely to get varied among otherwise trivial editions.
