<upd_refs>Not sure these glosses are accurate. Most kokugos just say something to the effect of "writing a book"

<upd_detl>I agree with Stephen that "editing; compiling" don't look right.
I don't think the x-ref is needed. Daijr and Koj don't even mention 著述. Also, 撰述 differs from 著述 in that it can't refer to the book itself.</upd_detl>
