I know this is a very old post and hopefully you are still on here but when you combine the different books into a new one do you put yourself as the author ?
Greetings!
Yes, I become the author of the new ebook, but I also give credit to each of the original authors in the back of each ebook. This isn’t required, but I feel it is appropriate.
Cheers!
