Look at the work. It doesn't have any authors.

We should avoid using edition.authors in the templates. The authors
field will be removed from editon in upstream-www migration.

The right column should be fixed to use work.get_authors() instead of
edition.authors.

I switched to work.get_authors() in the "more works by" on Editions, and I tried also to make the same change to /covers/book_covers.tmpl (because on the case above, the edition authors still show up on the fake cover) but it throws an error saying get_authors is unknown (null). I noticed that Anand updated the covers template to work with Works, so I reverted. Covers will currently still show Edition author names.

I think George edited the edition and the edit page created a work without an author.
