Katy (katyas-69) | 497 comments First of all, for some reason a search for the author name Daniel Black does not pull up THIS Daniel Black AT ALL, at least not in the "add book/author" thing. Can you check into that?
Also, the original start of Saga of the New Gods was two books, called Be Careful What you Wish For and The Horror of Magic . These two books were combined into a single edition with this version of Be Careful What you Wish For . Is there a way to combine these all together, somehow, or a way to note on the original editions that these books are no longer available separately and only available as the combined edition?
Finally, the series should now consist of
Book 1 - the new, combined edition of Be Careful What you Wish For : Be Careful What you Wish For
Book 2 - this new book The Death of Magic. Is there a way to fix the series to show that and note that the two that are currently showing were combined into the new Book 1?

So sorry, the author decided he preferred releasing them as longer books after having already put out the first two... Hopefully you can fix this!

Thanks so much! If I've been unclear, please feel free to ask questions.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've sorted out the series listing and added a series of notes to the various editions; does it look clear now?

I'm not sure why the add book/author search isn't pulling up this author; you may need to report this in the feedback group as a bug. The author's books are showing up in the regular search and the records all seem to be correct to me.


Katy (katyas-69) | 497 comments Cool, Cait, that helps a lot. Yeah, the books pull up fine. When I search the author, I receive only these search results: Daniel Black and Daniel Blackaby. I'll go to the feedback group and see if I can find someone there to help me sort it out!

The Daniel Black you are looking for is DanieL^^Black with TWO spaces between the names. The add book/author search thing is space sensitive. Use 2 spaces and he appears.
