To my surprise, I found Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' (all of them) on the page above.

Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks.

There's one edition that she edited: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31..., but she was added as the only author, I corrected it. But may be others as well, i am only on page 2, need to check until page 6 :D

On the second page of the editions there's this one:

To the Lighthouse (Hardcover)
Published January 1st 1992 by Oxford University Press
Oxford World's Classics, Hardcover, 285 pages

when you look at more detail, it shows the author as Margaret Drabble:

But when you open the page for that edition, Virginia Woolf is lead author, Margaret Drabble is the editor.

That doesn't happen for other editions with Woolf as author and a second name as Editor.

Ah I see why I saw what I saw.

I didn't delete her cause even on WorldCat was listed as author! As i don't have the book to check, I thought that maybe she did more than just editing :D(better safe than sorry :p)

WorldCat has different policies than we do about editors.
