Bob MacKenzie | 5 comments This book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - is listed on Goodreads as written by me. I am neither the author nor the editor of this book. I've tried various ways to remove this book from my page/list but it refuses to go. For some reason, this book doesn't show up on the "disambigate" list, so I can't remove it that way.

I don't want potential readers to think that I've written this book. How can I remove this book and return it to Don Hart's list, where it belongs?

You will get help faster if you post your question in the librarians group https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Bob MacKenzie | 5 comments Sorry, Paula. It's not fixed. The book in question was at the bottom of the list. Now it's moved to fifth from the bottom. Thanks for trying.

Bob MacKenzie | 5 comments Fixed. Thanks, Paula. I'd hate it to look like I'm stealing someone else's thunder. ;)

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) @Bob, Paula, incidentally is a goodreads librarian who just happened to see this post.

The librarians group has oodles of librarians 24/7 monitoring the requests.

Staff can also fix book data and other issues for you (and during business hours usually monitor this group for site issues). Librarians group is almost always quicker response on book data stuff but you can also contact staff by emailing support @ goodreads.com or the contact form under help screen (direct link is https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... ).

Everyone who can edit book data is generally happy to help -- but the librarians group usually is the fastest. Before the Amazon buyout, they almost always answered book data requests within five minutes. That's why this group's home page says to use that group for book data issues.

Bob MacKenzie | 5 comments Thanks, D. A.

I appreciate the information, all of it helpful. Paula was certainly a big help with this.
