Audiobook Grid view - multiple copies of the same title in iTunes 12.7.2 update?

I just did the latest High Sierra update (OSX 10.13.2) and iTunes update (12.7.2.58) and the "Grid View" (View As>Grid) for audiobooks (cover art view essentially) is completely messed up. Multiple copies of the same audiobook are showing and it is practically unusable (see example below). This seems to be happening on both Mac and Windows platforms (Windows 10, iTunes 12.7.2.58)

Anyone else seeing this? Any idea how to resolve? I use this view a lot since I find it much easier than the list view being that I have a large number of audiobooks in iTunes. Screenshot below. Previous to the update everything seemed to work fine...Each audiobook was represented by a single cover and then I could click on it to expand to see the various chapters, etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Is there a fix to this problem yet? I also have hundreds of book, and now I have (what looks like) multiple copies of every single book! This is BEYOND frustrating!! I need serious help!

Thank you very much, your work around worked for me.

Yep! Me too. Indeed, one CAN look in list view, but it is nicer to choose audiobooks in grid view. A disaster!

I just got a new audiobook and noticed this problem with the gridview too. After changing several sort options I found one that seems to get rid of the duplicates:

View>Sort By then select Author (above the line) and Author (below the line)

You can't seem to use the "Show View Options" method, as it grays out the second Author choice when you've selected it first.

Hope they fix it, as this is a pain.
