Description
### Problem
To reproduce the bug, go to this author page and see this book listed:
https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL6708339A/John_D._MacDonald?mode=everything&sort=rating
When you use the "only ebooks" filter on this author age, this "Preview Only" book isn't shown:
https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL6708339A/John_D._MacDonald?mode=ebooks&sort=rating
### Reproducing the bug
* Expected behavior: "Preview Only" books are not hidden when the "only ebooks" filter is used on author pages.
* Actual behavior: "Preview Only" books are hidden when the "only ebooks" filter is used on author pages.

Research direction
Start by comparing the linked author page in `mode=everything` with the same page using `mode=ebooks`, and trace the author-page filter behavior that excludes the Preview Only book. Done means Preview Only books remain visible when the only ebooks filter is selected, while the existing filter behavior remains intact.
