Removing books that I didn't write

Hi Mrs. Linda, the problem is that there may be another writer with the same name. I have went in and changed the aouthor's name for that book backwards. Instead of "Linda Gillard," for the book "Science Knowledge for Primary Teachers," I put down "Gillard Linda" (Backwards). This change has basically created another page for the other author, if they decided to join Goodreads.com as a Goodreads author. Let me know if everything looks ok, or if something still is not right.
Your welcome, and I hope your day is special!
We separate different authors with the same name by using extra spaces between the authors. I will fix this now.@Linda: The Linda Gillard who writes on teaching is Linda^^Gillard, where ^ is a space. If another of her books lands on your page, you can edit her name by adding an extra space between the first and surnames of the author, which will automatically move that book onto the correct profile :) Alternatively, just post here like now, and ask that the book be moved to the Linda "two space" Gillard profile and any of us will be happy do it. Can you check whether all the books on your profile are now yours alone? Oh, and can you confirm that Broken Boy is NOT yours? (I suspect the latter may belong to Linda M. Gillard) :)
@Sophia, please DON'T switch the first and surnames around. If you're not sure how to disambiguate, just ask :)
How can I remove 2 books I didn't write that have been added to my list of works? (I didn't add them.) They are by another author with the same name. (There are 3 authors with my name.)
The books I didn't write are Science textbooks and they have the same title (Science Knowledge for Primary Teachers) so I think the same ebook has been added twice. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Thanks.
