The author's name on the PG book should be the same as the name on the title page.

i agree with dick. but that's not the end of the story. at the point in the file where the title page is, the name that is located there should obviously "be the same as the name on the title page"... plus, at _some_ point in the file, there should _also_ be the name as it occurs in the authority file you use. project gutenberg _is_ using an authority file, isn't it? also, google indexes only the first 100k of a file, so _all_ forms of the author's name (even those that are neither on the title-page nor the one in your authority file) should appear in the first 100k... that's the right answer, from your resident know-it-all. -bowerbird
