Andrew Peters | 3 comments B00C1NWR6E The Bustacious Bunny Andrew Peters

I am the author of this book. Someone else has added it to Goodreads before I could get round to it, but the author link goes to a different Andrew Peters. or maybe they created a new one.
Please can somebody link it to me (You'll see all the similar covers on my page) Once it's in my books, I'll be able to edit any wrong details myself.
Thank you

Jozef Nakielski (jozef_nakielski) | 100 comments You have more than one space, although I'm not sure why as there doesn't appear to be Andrew Peters with one space as that book was on its own.

Andrew Peters | 3 comments More than one space? Don't understand.
Anyway, the book is in the right place now, so thank you very much for your help.

Jozef Nakielski (jozef_nakielski) | 100 comments Andrew space space space Peters is your name. You can't see the extra spaces between your names unless you edit a book (3 in total).
This book was added as Andrew space Peters, as you'd expect it to be.

It is how Good reads allows more than one person with the same name on the system.
It works until someone adds a book and doesn't check its going to the correct author after they've added it. It's one of those things you pick up with experience. I didn't realise till i'd already added a hundred books.

Andrew Peters | 3 comments Thanks again...I only ever add my own books, but a helpful guy did this one before I had the chance.
Great help thread, I am very impressed with the fast response.
