COMPLETE Pete Hackett

to me that looks like very profilic - scrolling through complete page 1 of his "books" the majority of the books seems to be some "Groschenroman" Western (really cheap (just a few cents) mass market paperbacks all quite thin) with reoccuring characters so, his books. There were only one or two I wouldn't instantly add to him...But yes there seems to be some combining to do - and tons of title cleaning urks...
and according to that "description" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Pete is only a pen name for Peter Haberl and he also has written under the pen name William Scott for Bastei Verlag (they published a lot of Groschenromane earlier, don't even know if still or if they gave that up meanwhile) e.g. the "Texas Marshall" series.So "very profilic" may just be understatement ;)
Gosh! Hmm, does that mean they all need Haberl adding as secondary or are we OK with just a crossref?
The few ones I looked yesterday had only Hackett on cover and these Groschenroman people often have various pen names I think so just Hackett should be ok? (hadn't look at the Haberl profile yet)some of the descriptions had author blurb and said he has sold more than 2 millions books
And some had an illustrator mentioned - he did only the cover and can be removed.
I think you might compore him to A.F. Morland (also such a Groschenroman guy just another genre and another very deep rabbit hole)
Looked now at the Haberl books - they seem all to be crime whereas the Hackett ones are just Western so I wouldn't add them, just crossref in profile
Good, that saves a LOT of time at least!! :)

For Pete Hackett, I've already created the first series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2203...
Created two more series and cleaned up the books in these series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2204... and https://www.goodreads.com/series/2204...
Pete Hackett is done, for now.I've created missing series/serials pages, set language to German, corrected sorting titles, removed cover illustrator, removed URL's from description and combined editions that needed combining.
Arenda, that's a huge accomplishment! Kudos! :D
That was awesome work Arenda!Thanks a lot!
1. Many / most of his works are German, but flagged as English so the filing is all wrong (under D~ not the first Proper word).
2. Not 100% certain they're all the same Pete Hackett, although he may just be very prolific!
3. May need some combines once the filing is sorted.
