The images tell their fifty-year history like it’s never been told before.

Didn't they quit in 2007? That makes 45 years in my calender.

Doubt its as simple as that. I mean, if someone were to compile a 'Stones in Their own words' type retrospective of quotes down the years, you could describe the band members as 'authors'.
Its not as if theyve sat down and written a book together.
I'm sure you right that they didn't sit down and write the book side by side. But they must have agreed to act as authors to this book (compiled by some ghostrider or ghostcompiler) - and that is kind of a statement too, don't you think (though it might not be heartfelt...).
Not really, to be honest.
Even if it is new interviews (let alone something they've written, which is unlikely) its not as if they even have to be in the same continent for it, let alone the same room. This looks like the details havent been finalised yet, no doubt others will be credited as 'authors' too.

It is a bit strange that when the band is thanking me, I need to consult my credit card...
