Samuel (montsamu) | 3 comments Before the book came in via Macmillan's Onix feed, I added:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

So I could add it to my to-read shelf, listopia, etc. Of course, now the real proper edition is coming in via the official source:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I don't know how to safely get rid of the first one in favor of keeping only the later one, while maintaining people's shelves and lists.

lethe | 16359 comments #73-74 Is Derrick Bell the same author as Derrick A. Bell? I was under the impression that not all books were by the same author.


message 76: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #75: Wikipedia lists all the works except two where he is just editor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derrick...

lethe | 16359 comments #76 Ah, good. He was quite versatile!

Tess | 13 comments Can these two authors be combined, or somehow linked? Her name changed.

Yrsa (litetmonster) | 1 comments I am not sure on how to combine these two editions. The book have been published under a pseudonym A. A. Fair, but has recently been published (again) under Erle Stanley Gardner.

Bump! Sorry, I didn't want this to accidently get passed by. I see you're already in the 90's for updates and this was #78. Thank you so much!

Sandra | 31485 comments #94 This author should not be combined. She published under 2 different names, many authors do.

When a book comes out using the other name, the original author name is used as primary & the new name is secondary. This has already been done.

ETA: I've linked the 2 author pages.

Thank you for the reply! That makes sense. And thank you for linking the two accounts.

Vicent (vginer) | 5 comments Hello! I found two books by the same author that should be combined (because they are the same book but in different languages).

The problem is that the author name is different too.

So, how can I (ask someone to) combine these three! authors, which are actually the same author:

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

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

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

(the first one should be considered the main one, in case it matters)

I look forward to your help! :)
