Do I put a space between an author's initials?
When the author does not give a first name, do I put a space between his/her initials?
For example, I looked up the author, J. D. Robb, on Amazon. It appears that there is a space between the initials. However, when I looked it up in AP and Chicago styles, there was a difference of opinion. Any suggestions on whether or not to insert a space between the author's initials? Is there one style the moderators prefer? Thanks!
