Do these tasks need to be done in order or can one skip around?

It is helpful to include a link to the book (use the add book/author link above the posting box)
No, sorry, for SRC purposes the last name is Zafón, making his first and last initials CZ
I wanted to use this book by Natasha Preston- For the chemical symbol Np. But only available as a ebook with 206 pages. Need to verify if it can countSilence
Mod
Silence"
You can get ebooks without print editions verified at ebook verification
But there's a paperback - Silence so it doesn't need ebook verification

Is it okay if the author uses initials?C.J. Roberts for Chromium Cr
Mod
C.J. Roberts for Chromium Cr"
Yes, C.J. Roberts first inital is C, last initial is R
For graphic novels, do illustrators count as authors? I'm reading The Walking Dead, Vol. 04: The Heart's Desire and Robert Kirkman is the writer (but no RK element) However, one of the illustrators is Charlie Adlard (CA is calcium). He is shown on the cover of the book as well as on the GR's page.
Mod
No, sorry, the task requires an author. Illustrators and translators do not work as authors
