Well, I'll be darned if I am going to refer to the book "Packard, A History of the Motor Car and the Company" or "The James J. Bradley, Stan Grayson, George Hamlin, Dwight Heinmuller, Richard M. Langworth, C.A. Leslie, Jr., Terry Martin, Richard K. Phillips, Don E. Weber and L. Morgan Yost book, with the appendices written by Roger Abbott, Charles Betts, Menno Duerksen, George Hamlin, John B. Montville, W.C. Williams and Bob Zimmerman." book (whew! even just typing it made me tired)
when making a reference to items in that tome. I appreciate that many authors had input and deserve credit but it would be impractical to cite very contributor everytime or to type in the full book title every time. While I am guilty of referring to it as the "Kimes" book also I often refer to it as the "Packard, a History etc..." book. Suggestions?
