Katrina | 73 comments There's a really odd author attached to this book, but googling didn't really enlighten me about what's going on. Not sure what the best approach is.

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments It refers to an American television station WGBH is a PBS station. It's probably a companion book to a special that Marian Marzynski did on that station. Definitely needs to be cleaned up.

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 359 comments From what I can tell it might possibly have to do with the Boston PBS channel? Still searching....

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 359 comments Oops, my typing was slower.....

I didn't find anything helpful yet, but this is WorldCats page on them.

I'm on mobile device so limited to ease of searching.

Dawn (dawnv) | 23 comments Marian Marzynski is a documentary person not an author...here is what I found "Skin Deep is produced and directed by Marian Marzynski, and written by Marian Marzynski and Prexy Nesbitt"

Here is where the error came from: http://www.abebooks.co.uk/97815780717...

It was never a book it should probably be deleted.

Lobstergirl Ingram thinks it's a hardcover book, Worldcat thinks it's a VHS videotape. In the second case we wouldn't delete, but NAB.

Katrina | 73 comments Thanks for the impressive sleuthing - any consensus on what to do given the sources don't agree?

I propose deleting the string of letters from the author field at a minimum.


message 8: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl I would certainly trust Worldcat over Ingram. I'd be in favor of nabbing.
