Antonomasia | 514 comments I have been disambiguating Bruce Robinsons.

What I can't understand is why "Mrs Frampton" is stuck on the front page of the first Bruce Robinson's author profile: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
when he has never been listed as its author in the first place: http://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/6...
It is not shown in the full list of works, which is now correct:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

Books I've already disambiguated are appearing on the front page in preference to one or two of the right ones, but those will go away in a few hours, I presume.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments It looks like this edition may be for an ISBN which was used in two different books, one of which is by Bruce Robinson:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...

You may need to create an alternate edition for that book. There's one user who has that specific edition shelved; you may want to message them to see which book they intended to shelve, so that you keep the record on their shelf the same.

Antonomasia | 514 comments Oh, even the British library have that ISBN listed for two books. Looks like a publisher's error as both Mrs Frampton and the collected screenplays (Withnail and Advertising) were published by Bloomsbury in 1989.

I have sent a message to the user - luckily listed as active this month.
