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.

The perfect magazine for Lolitas. Not only did this magazine feature egl fashion, but also things like baked goods and flowers that lolitas also enjoy. I liked that they included occupations for the street shot segments. When someone has nice things people always wonder what they do for a living. At times they even included prices so that was helpful. I'd give this magazine 5 stars if every volume was released in English, and outfits had details of where every piece was from as well as price. On a side note, the inclusion of bl was a pleasant surprise.

After the delightfully good winter issue, Vol 5 was somewhat of a disappointment. Once again, the patterns have returned to small, accessory items instead of whole outfits like we've seen in the Japanese publication. The content just wasn't as captivating this time. This issue focused on weddings which is a pretty narrow demographic but I think you can make wedding planning and crafts interesting to even those who are not getting married, in fact I own several wedding books and I'm not even married. But this issue just didn't cut it for me and I doubt I'd use it for reference even if I was planning a lolita themed wedding.

Other than that, there is plenty of content about lolita events that are going on around the world for people that like to keep up with that sort of thing.

Thanks to my son who gave me this special Wedding Issue of G&LB for Mother's Day!

Not a fan of weddings, but there were some cute dresses in here, and the patterns/ideas are great.

The only thing that disappoints me in this issue is that the patterns are accessories.
