Jon,

This is bad design of database!

You must have separate table "Authors".
You must split above one record into 3 records of that table.

This is MUST TO DO !!!


I can image this make your life more complex, but it is correct way.

Btw, this is excellent case for new Valentina's feature BinaryLink.
