Author Glitch - James Herbert

I think this has happened before but here it goes:

When I go to James Herbert's page I see all sorts of fun things are listed under "Books":

www.listal.com/james-herbert_ii

When I click on "View all James Herbert books"

www.listal.com/james-herbert_ii/books

Only three books show up and it looks like they are in German(???). When I have had issues with an author not being correctly related to a book. I can typically go and edit the item and make sure the 'Author" field is correct.

Sometimes when new items are added and the 'author' and 'description' area don't really exist on Listal and I can just type in the author's name.

However, Here is my problem. James Herbert exists on the Listal site as "James Herbert (II)". When I have added one of his books to a list the author shows up as "James Herbert_II".

Now in theory I could go to the book and edit the Author and that would fix the problem but I actually wouldn't know what to put in the Author field... just "James Herbert" or "James Herbert II".

I think it is the underscore in the name that might be causing the problem.

LOL, never mind it seems that I can add a version of the book and type in the author as just "James Herbert" then that book will now show up under all the books written by James Herbert (II).

I just have a bad feeling that I'm really messing something up for the database as a whole.
