   Amazon has one book under Hetley and the other under Burton. Personally, I   
   don't think that is a great way to help readers find books in a series.   
      
   I have just started the first book, bought both, and I am enjoying it a lot so   
   far, but...   
      
   I would think you would know this and I would have expected your millennia-old   
   smith to know it. He is wrong when he thinks to himself that the use of the   
   word "Persian" to refer to a person is archaic. Persian _is_ an ethnicity.   
   There are Persians and    
   non-Persians in Iran, so the national name, Iranian, does not map one to one   
   with Persian. Persian is also a language, part of the Iranian language family.   
      
   And Persian cats are beautiful.
