Two authors, one name: David J. Schwartz

[Standback]

Hi,

There are (at least) two authors named David J. Schwartz with listings on the site:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I saw there were some new editions listed for Gooseberry Bluff Community College of Magic: The Thirteenth Rib, and wanted to combine them. Turns out the main edition points to the right author (David J. Schwartz), and the other to the wrong one (David J. Schwartz). This also prevents me from combining the two editions.

Is there any way I can disambiguate between the two when editing the book info? Or is this solvable only by Goodreads staff?

Thanks :)

The correct author (Goodreads Author) has 2 spaces before his last name - spaces before the last name is how Goodreads separates same-named authors.

I edited the name and you should now be able to combine the editions.

Goodness! I wouldn't have figured that one out...

Thanks much :)
