This one will need a lot of help: Lots of books needing to be fixed!

Looks like I'm hitting a lot of audio books with translator actually being narrator.Publisher Recorded Books website when you hit browse for books search, as an example, leads me to this site if it helps anyone else http://www.simplyaudiobooks.com/proce...
They do seem all need to move secondary author up, delete the "null", add translator as narrator, then delete translator.

Actually, it looks like they are ALL like that.
Just a reminder for anyone working on this list: don't forget to combine the audio edition with it's mates once it's been fixed. Just thought I'd mention it since I didn't remember until I'd done a dozen or so of them.... :(
Mod
Definitely preferable. The good news is, that even if you forget, it will now show up on the right author's combine page, so another librarian might see the stray editions and combine them.
Yes, I'm hoping for just that for the books whose titles I forgot. Some of them I remembered and went back to combine...
Mod
If only there were a way to add a role for secondary names and so on...
Down to 7 pages (350 books). Not all of them were fixed by me ;-)(I started including descriptions from Worldcat, but stopped, nobody seems to be adding these editions and most of them were merged with more popular editions)

Down to 214 books! I've been adding descriptions to these editions just in case there is no default description from other editions.

We go by hours with audio books. So if an audio book is 7 hours 42 minutes we round up to 8 hours, which then becomes 8 "pages".
Uh oh. I have not been doing that. But I do see it in librarian manual already when I looked. I've been just leaving blank but now I know.
Hello to everyone, I have been adding some of my favorite books to my shelves and I found one with an incorrect ISBN. The book I was trying to find has the following ISBN: 978-849-679-177-0 and the title is: "El Alquimista" by Michael Scott. The problem is that this ISBN is currently associated in the site to another book called "Shibumi". I have checked over the Internet and found that the ISBN for "Shibumi" is: 978-849-694-012-3 and not the one that is currently associated with. I hope you can change this information.
Thank you
Mauricio, fixed. You can add your book now :)

Hi Anna,
I think everything is ok now. Please verify and post back if there is still something that should be corrected or changed.
