The combine function is now working as it should be, even on the Anonymous profile. I was able to combine some editions.

If you come across anything from "Arabian Nights/The Thousands Nights and a Night" you think should be combined, please link to both books.

Seach will always give quite a number of results, as they were published in 1 volume; 2 volumes; 3 volumes; 4 volumes; 12 volumes; 16 volumes; selections; adaptations and maybe even more.

Like I was telling David earlier in this project, with so many thousands of books (40,000) I feel like sending up a flare to shed light on the problem is about all I can do. I'm sure it is dramatically improved now! Before was quite a mess. Thank you Arenda! I think I have entered all 36 titles in my set of The Thousands Nights and a Night, and its supplement. But If I come across any more and find any more issues, I'll send up another flare :)

First two results can be combined. First result ought to have the title fixed.

Thanks!

Sandra | 31401 comments #712 fixed title, however without knowing which letters & speeches are in each book it is impossible to combine.

I posted this in the projects group but doesn't seem to be getting any attention.

Am I right in thinking they shouldn't have "project gutenberg" in the title?

These can be combined, one book has Rev before the authors name. Not sure which of the two is the appropriate way to handle a name with an honorific.

Not 100% sure. But I think they can be combined.

The two study guides appear to be combine-able.

Can be combined, one has a slightly different author name.

Concerning Christian Liberty; With Letter of Martin Luther to Pope Leo X. has three copies in the results. With three different names. Luther is the author. One of the copies has Martin Luther with a date in the middle.

More combinations and date names.

Thanks in advance!

I think at least two are combineable, the third one may be as well, at the least it shouldn't have a publisher as co-author.

Sandra | 31401 comments #755 done you had one under Shubendra & the other under Shubendra G. I used Shubendra G as that is what you've used in Amazon. If you are the author with the claimed profile of Shubendra, please advise & I'll change them both.
