Thank you for your post Mister P.

Just one question: Isn't also redundant if we already have co-author, co meaning with sb else, or that somebody else also wrote the book?

Or is it possible to say: The other book of the same author was written with the co-author XY?

Maybe you could say "written in collaboration with...". It may not carry exactly the same meaning, though...

Hi P!

Maybe, but I guess I can leave co-author, but I don't know how it is used.

Thanks
