My most recent book is on my author page at goodreads, but I can't figure out how to add my earlier books, or other books where I am not the author but am a contributor. This should be a lot easier to do! I also use LibraryThing and it's a breeze compared to Goodreads. Can anyone advise?

Thanks for that, but that doesn't help -- the books are already here, it's just that they do not show up on my author page. When I've tried to "add" them there, I get an error message saying they already exist. What a royal pain in the keister, as my grandfather would say!
Ah! Then a post in the Librarians Group, with links to the existing-but-misplaced books, is the usual remedy.Or you can link them here, since I'm here already.

The problem was that some of your books were under Russell A. Potter and some under Russell Potter. They are now all under the more complete version of your name.
Ah! I figured that might be the issue. My academic books have always had the "A" but my novel's publisher thought my name looked better without it. Thanks for putting me back together!
One more question: I just combined the editions of my books, and Arctic Spectacles disappeared! Although this is NOT what I seemed to see in the dialog box -- which indicated that there were different books to be combined into three titles, not one -- for some reason the system combined it with PYG!! Can you fix??
Ack!! It combined Spectacular Vernaculars too! What a complete disaster.
It's this kind of stuff that makes me loathe to use Goodreads -- never have had any of these kinds of troubles at LibraryThing!
I'm deleting my Goodreads account now. But I do thank you for your help; you were very kind.
