My bibliography has to look like this:
name, givenname; name2 ,givenname2: title. edition location : publisher, Year.
e.g.
Weck, Manfred; Brecher, Christian: Werkzeugmaschinen. 6.Auflage Berlin
: Springer, 2005.
my bib
-file looks like this:
@BOOK{weck,
title = {Werkzeugmaschinen},
publisher = {Springer},
year = {2005},
author = {Manfred Weck and Christian Brecher},
address = {Berlin},
edition = {6.Auflage}
}
my tex
file like this:
\usepackage[backend=biber, bibstyle=alphabetic, sorting=nyt]{biblatex}
\DeclareBibliographyDriver{book}{
\printnames{author}%
\setunit{\addcolon}
\newunit\newblock \printfield{title}%
\setunit{\adddot}
\newunit\newblock \printfield{edition}%
\newunit \printlist{location} %
\setunit{\addcolon}
\newunit \printlist{publisher}
\setunit{\addcomma}
\newunit \printfield{year}
\finentry}
but my bibliography looks like this
Manfred Weck and Christian Brecher. Werkzeugmaschinen. 6.Auflage
Berlin. Springer. 2005
So the name has to come first and if there are more than one author there has to be a ;
in between. semicolons and colons seem to be ignored, there's always a dot.

Here's an example that doesn't create a new bibliography driver from scratch, but modifies the existing
book
driver. Try and comment out my redfinitions to see what they effect. Note that I have changed the contents of theedition
field in your.bib
file to an integer and instead used thebabel
package plus thebiblatex
package optionabbreviate=false
.Note: In the bibliography driver in your code snippets, semicolons and colons aren't ignored, but overridden by the following
\newunit
which typesets\newunitpunct
(by default, a period and a space) instead.Further information may be found at Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles.
