Moiety, many of the pairs you are listing are NOT Goodreads authors and should not be posted in this thread.

No, not all the books belong to the GR Author.

No reason to think that is the same person.

Do you know which books are his and which are not?

I sent him a message to make sure.

My problem is the reverse. There are two authors with the same name but all books are under the same one."
This is the wrong thread. Start a new one.

P.A. Bechko (initials)"
Author publishes under two distinct names; no merge.

I won't merge two distinct names (Tara DiLullo and Tara Bennett), as it makes it too hard for users to find things using the search. I would be ok with merging all three into Tara DiLullo Bennett, if that works for you.
Mod
Moiety, please review the first post in this thread.

Ok, but all of the books under P.A. Bechko are also listed under the main name. And they can't be combined.
So I tried to put the main name as a 2nd author for one of the P.A. Bachko books, and it says updated, but the name does not actually show? Isn't this one of the procedures for handling pen names in the librarian's manual?
The correct one is:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
please merge

These 3 are the same authors. One is the Simplified Chinese Name, Traditional Chinese name/Japanese name , and one is the English name. I amended the Simplified Chinese author name to note that the English is so and so. But decided to post here, so someone can merge them perhaps as I don't want to mess anything up.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I can work with combining the books later once they this is done. There are many duplicates.
Mod
None are claimed, so this is the wrong thread. We also DO NOT merge author names in different languages.
Start a new thread, and you can get help with what can be done to consolidate their books.
There were a couple of books on Cheryl^Brand, but they were all duplicate editions of books by Cheryl^^Brand (the GR Author), so I see no reason why that author couldn't have the one-space profile:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
2 missing dotshttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
the books DO use the dotless version of her name.
this Goodreads author has an aka:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
she also has the Goodreads author version of the name without aka:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
the blurb refers to Bob Kat so it is the same person
Finally, she does use both names on different books but I haven't seen any single book with BOTH names on.
Finally, finally there is also a page for Bob Kat:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Some books have a list of authors:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
another akahttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
his books use "Dev Prana a.k.a. Safir Ahmed" WITHOUT "Sam"
Mod
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/..."
That one is as per the cover.
Lee Goldman (goodreads author)Md Goldman Lee (transposed, remove Md)
Gunnar G. Sevelius (goodreads author)
Gunnar Sevelius (missing initial)

OK. I couldn't read it so I've upgraded it.
