This is a publisher of many, many books, not an actual author. These books should be attributed to their respective authors. In many cases, the authors are listed as part of the title field.

Considering the page counts, these books under the purported authorship of "Books LLC" perhaps contain only compilations of Wikipedia articles or other reference material about the real books named in their titles, not the actual books themselves. Nevertheless, many community reviews suggest that the commenters and raters intended to review the actual book named in the title.

I'm not sure how to resolve this quandary and unwilling to purchase the Books LLC library.

The majority of their works, especially those which mention recent publications, are not the actual books. But study guides, book summaries, lists of titles making up series, etc.

Leaving Books LLC as the author is correct in most cases.
