Federico Werner (fedwer) | 12 comments Please for the book:

Todo Sobre Nuestro Mundo

The full name of the author needs to be corrected (order and capitals). Plus, the cover image may be taken from the book's file in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/sobre-nuestro-m...

Thanks a lot!

lethe | 16359 comments Would he be the same Christopher Lloyd as the garden author, or a different one?

Federico Werner (fedwer) | 12 comments That's neat Dobby0390!
Much appreciated.

Federico Werner (fedwer) | 12 comments lethe, there's also another very popular Christopher Lloyd, the actor from Back to the Future! ;)

lethe | 16359 comments I combined it with the original edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

It looks like this profile is in need of serious disambiguation. Anyone looking for a project, feel free: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list... )

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments Just discovered that, Lethe, when checking other editions on Amazon and WorldCat. Working on it.

Yes :D
and judging from the books, I'd say there are at least two, but probably more authors with this name as well: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments ETA:

I've pulled out the Christopher Lloyd associated with the "What on Earth" books—disambiguated with 3 spaces: Christopher Lloyd This should take care of clean-up relating to the OP.

I've completed the book list for the Christopher Lloyd, economic historian and political economist—disambiguated with 4 spaces: Christopher Lloyd

I'm still working on the Christopher Lloyd, naval historian, 1906-1986—disambiguated with 2 spaces: Christopher Lloyd I'm working my way down this author's publication list.

There will help—but it will not resolve—disambiguation of the Christopher Lloyd profile.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I'm pulling out the art/painting Christopher Lloyd at 5 spaces: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

ETA: Also 6 spaces for professor of language/culture: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I bumped your naval historian so that the gardener has the 2 space profile and all the leftovers are on the single space profile. I thought that would make it easier to sort out whatever arrives in future, rather than have to weed through all those gardening books again, pun intended. ;-) https://www.goodreads.com/author/simi...
