There are 6 titles assigned to the author in question but actually belong to the one in the link. How do I fix this?

The titles are:
Junkers Season 2
Goliath's End
Twenty-Something Miles
Boom Box
Rules for Time Travel
Everyday Crap

Arenda | 26447 comments GR uses one or more extra spaces between first and last name to separate authors with the same name.

This Benjamin Wallace https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... has the 'default' profile with 1 space.
Books that are imported by GR will often end up on this profile, as these import can't distinguish between multiple author profiles.

The other Benjamin Wallace https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... has two spaces between his first and last name.
To move his books that are on the other profile to his own, there has to be an extra space between first and last author name (edit the book page).
When there are multiple editions, the author has to be corrected for all editions.
