Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What would be the downside to displaying the author of the book as the author of the page? Does the page contain information not relevant to the book itself? As far as the product photo rather than the author photo, I've never seen Google display a non-head shot as part of the page's author link in SERPs -- even when originally verified and integrated with a head shot (if someone has a different experience, please chime in because I'm curious).
