Collier Young
Collier Young is in the database as a pseudonym of Robert Bloch, but the person who wrote this foreword was the real producer of the TV series which was the basis for the story adaptations in this collection. I know we can't break a pseudonym, but how about changing the author of this piece to "Collier Young [2]", or something along that line? MHHutchins 02:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

T. Davis Bunn
This is part of a pseudonym chain. T._Davis_Bunn is listed as a pseudonym of Thomas_Locke, while Davis Bunn is listed as a pseudonym of T. Davis Bunn. I suppose this makes Thomas Locke the canonical name, but the omnibus of the 4 novels published separately under the Locke name was published under the T. Davis Bunn name. First Search lists over 150 books authored or co-authored under the T. Davis Bunn name (most of them apparently historical or legal fiction, but I found and added two near-future SF novels) and only 41 under the Locke name, including the ones we have on file. If we could break pseudonym relationships, I think there would be a case for making "T. Davis Bunn" the canonical name here. -DES Talk 16:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
