Hi all, can someone help me fix this book? It has a description that seems to match the cover image, but it's attributed to Graeme Base of children's book fame and is combined with a book by him The Eleventh Hour. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what happened, but WorldCat shows that ISBN as belonging only to the Final Cut Pro book and not to anything by Graeme Base. I separated this edition out, corrected the title, removed Base as an author and it should be right now.
Looks like someone separated. Unfortunately, the reviews and ratings from Eleventh Hour are sticking to it. Is that just a caching issue, or something more serious? It would be a shame for Eleventh Hour to lose those reviews and ratings.
Good point but I believe that Rivka has mentioned that the reviews thing is a caching issue that should resolve itself, unless the reviews were for that specific edition.Otherwise, how else would one go about fixing something like this?
The reviews sticking to the wrong book is something that has happened before, unfortunately, and it was permanent, not cached. If you haven't seen it yet you'll come across it at some point.
Man, I hope that's not the case. I know I did what I was supposed to but I'll still feel guilty if the reviews get screwed up.
Well it's a database bug, not a librarian issue. If books are wrongly combined, they have to be separated and there's no other way to separate them than the regular way. Unless there are some coding secrets I don't know.
Thanks for all the help. The reviews are indeed still attached, but it sounds like there is nothing you could have done differently Jennifer. Sounds like another bug to be fixed. At least no more reviews for the Graeme Base book will be written for the Macintosh book.
