Cam (camthereader) | 608 comments How do we deal with authors changing part of their name but releasing the same book? The ASIN/ISBN is still attached to the old name/edition too, do we treat it as alternate covers and just put a librarian's note saying it was released under a diff author_name?

For example,
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

the ASIN is assigned to a new cover with a new author's name (still sounds the same though) on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Shellys-Second-...
and the paperback version has been already entered,
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and,
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The name (or names) under which it was originally published are listed first on ALL editions. Editions published under another name(s) will have that name listed second (or third).
