LINQ，聚合操作不支持“System.Data.Linq.Binary”类型

Question

 (from chapter in Chapters
        join userChapter in UserChapters on chapter.Id equals userChapter.ChapterId
        join pub in Publications on chapter.Id equals pub.ChapterId into P 
        from publication in P.DefaultIfEmpty()
        where userChapter.UserId == 9
        group new
                           {
                               PubID = publication.Id,
                               Logo = chapter.Logo
                           } by new { chapter.Id, chapter.Name} into x
                           orderby x.Key.Name
        select new 
       {
           Id = x.Key.Id,
           chapterName = x.Key.Name,
           PublicationCount = x.Count(z => z.PubID > 0),
           Logo = x.Max(z=>z.Logo)
       }
)

In the above query " chapter.Logo " is of type byte[] , when I try to execute this query i am getting following error.

The type 'System.Data.Linq.Binary' is not supported in aggregation operations - LINQ.

    join pub in Publications on chapter.Id equals pub.ChapterId into P 
    from pub in P.DefaultIfEmpty()
    where userChapter.UserId == 9
    group pub by new { chapter.Id, chapter.Name,chapter.Logo,pub.Id} into x
                       orderby x.Key.Name
    select new 
   {
       Id = x.Key.Id,
       chapterName = x.Key.Name,
       Logo = x.Key.Logo,
