Are all the books on the no-initial profile his? I don't think so. And initials are better than extra spaces for disambiguation.

Not all of the books on the Eric Douglas profile are mine. The Leadership Equation and Blessed Assurance are not by me.

Since we have at least two different Eric Douglases (you and the author of the two books you mentioned as not yours), there are two options if you want to lose the initial:
1) Make you Eric-2space-Douglas. The extra space between your first and last names would only show up on book edit pages and your profile edit page, but it would tell the system which books are yours (as the middle initial does now).
2) Make you the default (single-space) author, and the other guy Eric-2space-Douglas. That means all new books imported by any Eric Douglas will land on your profile, but we can move off any that don't belong to you.
Preference?

To be clear, the other guy is not a Goodreads member. He wouldn't even know, let alone care. He just has books listed here.
Still want the 2space profile?

Thank you for pointing that out.
