Mrsgeo | 93 comments I think these should be combined. One is essentially a 2nd edition of the other, with a change of author name.

All editions must have the original author's name as the first listed author. In this case, that would be A.J. Kelton.

Thanks rivka and fRee, but according to the librarian's manual, primary name must be the one one the cover.

Ismail, here is relevant section of the Manual:
'In some cases, a book may be originally published under a pen name, but then later reissued under the author's original name. When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its primary author name changed to the originally published pen name, with the additional name added as secondary for all editions with it on the cover. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined. '

Thanks Olivia, now it's clear. But the part of the manual which confused me was this:

When editing or adding information for a book written by an author with multiple names, enter the author's name as on the front cover as the primary author. The author's other names may be added in the other author fields. Original name or other pen names can be added and linked via a Librarian Note in the description field, or using the Librarian Note feature located above the Title field.

Anyway I think you all are right :)

BookBec | 1018 comments Please combine. These seem to all be the same thing. (Not that any of them has even one review, so who knows?)
