Further research seems to say multiple authours in the csv import is not supported? - https://www.librarything.com/topic/347569
That thread suggest MARC format which is apparently some sort of standard... but would drastically change this script... https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/LibraryThing_and_MARC
Do more testing with multiple authours as it may just use the first authour as a 'search' item to match against when not using ISBN...
Note that MARC is a whole series of formal standards - https://www.loc.gov/marc/marctools.html Digging into that is probably a huge scope increase I'm not interested in at this time.
According to https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Adding_and_importing_books this is expected behaviour
Looks like the correct way to do this is to include exactly (? unclear, all fields, same order perhaps?) the entries as in the example file
That file https://www.librarything.com/LibraryThingSample.csv has
'TITLE',"'AUTHOR (last, first)'",'DATE','ISBN',"'PUBLICATION INFO'",'TAGS','RATING','REVIEW',"'DATE READ'","'PAGE COUNT'","'CALL NUMBER'"
It's unclear
Need to line these up with the default fields available in Calibre and update script to match
