Lee Broderick | 19 comments Predictably, there are a lot of authors called John Grant. Adding books by the children's author (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gra...) just now I noticed that they were going to the wrong John Grant (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...). It looks like there may be quite a lot of books there that need disambiguating but I can't find an option for that because one of the John Grants has claimed the profile. Is there a way to do this without painstakingly going through each book?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments nope for GR Authors it is book by book, unless your rivka then she probably can edit the GR Author profile to use the disambig tool
