About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

[Christy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a pretty good book with practical information on things to see in Scandanavia. We just went to the big cities so I am not sure how complete it was in the smaller towns. I find that most guide books are pretty similar in what they suggest in the larger towns.

Scandinavia still doesn't make much sense to me, and the introduction to Norway is downright depressing, but I'm not going to leave a rating just yet, since you never know how useful a travel guide is until you try to use it while traveling.

An enjoyable to read travel guide. The maps are concise. I like the location by location review... hitting some spots not covered elsewhere I imagine.
