The task states that the author name for book 2 must contain a Z. There's nothing there about the title - that only comes in with book 1, or if you are trying to use a one book option.

Sorry, no. Editors are not authors.
See the Rules of the Challenge:

"Only authors that are identified as authors (or a default blank in the author role field), co-authors, or contributors may be used for tasks involving author information. Other roles or functions such as editor, illustrator, artist, translator, introduction, designed by, foreward, preface, assistant or afterword may not be used for author-sourced tasks."

Okay, thank you
