Mathieu | 95 comments I made a search for books written or edited by James A. Henretta and I found 10 pages of books but most of it is very badly referenced: it's a confusion between actual titles of books and commercial offers (two books bought at once). I think someone with the clearance to do so should look into it and clean that whole mess up.

I suppose it's going to be a daunting task, checking Henretta's bibliography and then entering the books one at a time into Goodreads data, but I think it should be done. I could help, but I don't have the necessary rights.

Cheers.

They are packaged together, and sold as a set. That's a valid entry.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I will look through this authors work anyways. Some of it needs clean-up.

Yeah, I was able to do some combines. But with many popular history texts, the various "packages" outnumber editions of the text alone. Not much to be done about that.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Yea I will try to do what I can.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I am going to change the names to GR's policy standards and combine what I can.

Tomorrow I will find the authors of the individual works in each collection and add them to the books. If anyone wants to help do this, they can.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Cleaned up about 2/3 of the titles. I will finish the titles and combining tomorrow as well as start adding the authors for the individual works within each set.

Mathieu | 95 comments I may help... but I don't have the authorization to do so (I'm not a librarian).
