This is hilarious. I almost fell from the chair laughing just now.

(And yeah, I tried talking with clenched teeth too. Sounded like I had a bad case of constipation)

In theory, yes.

The reality is that we just don't know if somebody else is writing at least some part of the book and not getting credit. It happens, and people who are getting enough money to be an "invisible ghost writer" are happy to let it happen.

I was specifically thinking of Red Storm Rising, which has only Tom Clancy's name on the cover, but the book is both a research and writing collaboration with Larry Bond. The is an "acknowledgements" with that info in the book.

Larry Bond signs the book somewhere other than the title page, as my copy has both his and Tom Clancy's signature. I met Larry at a book signing and found out we had mutual friends, so we've talked a bit about all sorts of fun stuff that shouldn't be repeated.

Price stickers on top of the back-cover ISBN/barcode. Can't use my phone ISBN scanner when they do that.
