Gutenberg has the author as Walter Germain. Is there a reason to disagree with this? :)

Walter Germain is actually the name that Guttenberg has so I suppose that is the name of the author then.

After double checking that the author was a valid one for me to record, it looks as if the author shown for the project may be incorrect.

I think that the author of this book should be: Walter Germain Robinson which would mean that my claim for chapters 3 & 8 in my earlier post would be valid.

A couple of references:
