The Kindle edition is already showing on your profile - Ahmed ZahranI have added the paperback edition, but I have not been able to combine the two. You are using Ahmed Zahran without the middle initials as your profile name, and you are a GR author. GR uses the cover name as the author name - Ahmed M.K. Zahran. Although this is the same name as on the Kindle cover, that GR entry shows your GR author name...not the cover name. Since the two names do not match, the books cannot be combined. I have tried to add your GR name as a second author, but, for some reason, the system will not accept it.
A more senior librarian will need to complete the combining of your two editions.
Thanks for your message.What if I change GR profile name to Ahmed M.K. Zahran. Would this solve the issue.

There is a trick to get around that issue, though I didn't use it this time. I just changed the author name on the other book. Then combined them.

The editions have been able to be combined but are now on a different author profile. Books go by book covers for the author name unless the book was previously released under a different name (and other exceptions). Unless the books were previously released under the Ahmed Zahran name, it might be easier to switch your GR profile name. Not sure how the Amazon name works, but it currently also has Ahmed Zahran as the author - if possible, might want to change that one as well to Ahmed M.K. Zahran (otherwise new editions/books will import under the Ahmed Zahran name).
