On product pages of edited collections of essays, please show authors of each essay in TOC

Here's one example where this is not done; the Table of Contents listed shows only the titles of each essay. When deciding whether or not to buy a book such as this, I want to know who wrote the essays in it; the editor of the collection isn't enough to sway me.

Note that Amazon shows the entire TOC including authors of each chapter. I'd need this kind of info in order to decide whether to buy an edited collection of essays.

Thanks!

I've made this request before...I'm never going to buy an essay collection if I don't at least know what the essay titles are--author info would help, too.

C'mon, Rosie, you know you buy everything that comes out anyway so why are you pretending otherwise? [;)]

Almost. But I do check out Amazon.com for many Logos books when considering whether to buy them or not. In an ideal world, Logos would be able to keep me on their website, without me having to check out the competitor's. They might lose a sale that way, because I might notice that the book is 25% cheaper on Kindle. And available now, not after a wait through the pre-pub process. So it's in Logos's best interest to fix this problem.

AND add the authors at the top at the page, so that the book shows up when I filter for one of the authors.

AND make sure they are all included in the book's metadata, for the same reason.

AND make sure to always include TOC's when a book is a collection of essays or writings. Not like this: Seventeen Short Treatises. How am I supposed to figure out if the book contains something 'new', or if all 17 are already included in one or more of the ECF, the Fathers of the Church, and the Ancient Christian Writers?

Not sure what the current status is on this request, but I feel there is still much that needs to be done. ASAP, please.
