So do you think the road kill cookbook and the antique fly fishing tackle books should be moved to the other A.J. Campbell you set up?

Yeah, probably.

Needs the . I think unless there has been a decree?

Well, the Road-kill recipe book seems to be the GoodRead's A.J. - he gives it a review. Even though it is the first time I've seen an author give one of their own books a single star rating.

Stephen (havan) | 330 comments Davis Levithan
David Levithan How They Met And Other Stories
David Levithan Everyday
David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary
David Levithan Every Day

All should be merged into David Levithan

They appear to be empty of books but they continue to appear on the add book/author pop-up list

Jasmin I. | 1 comments These two Authors need to be merged please:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Also these books:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

By the way - how do I merge authors myself (if they are not GR-authors)?

Thank you!

Fenella J. Miller and Fenella Miller are similar enough that I'm comfortable merging them. But Fenella-Jane Miller is not. I am adding a link from that profile to the primary one, though.

Books published under both names can have one added as primary to all editions and be combined.

OK adding the second author name to all the ones that she is claiming on her website.

I would only add it to those with editions published under both names. If it's only ever been published under one name, that's the only name that should appear on all editions.

Aye - this is going to be a longer job though as some seem to have been republished under new titles, which involved me reading all the blurbs :) Will make sure all is sorted in the end!
