Christopher Page (cpage-thatauthorguy) | 4 comments I added this book, but It added to the other author not me (This is me: 8367764.Christopher_Page). I followed the instructions with the Is this you link but got an error message. Bottom line every time I go to add a book it goes to this other guy's author page. It's insane. There has to be a simpler way to add my book to me and not the other guy by default.

Plus I can't add my cover (why does this have to be done separately why can't it just pull it from Amazon since they've purchased Goodreads?)

Melaslithos | 1360 comments Hi,

You are Christopher^^^^Page, with ^=space, which means 4 spaces between Christopher and Page. This is how we separate different authors on GR.

Unfortunately, since other sources are using other methods, during imports, books will arrive in the default Christopher Page page. Please do not hesitate to warn us whevener it happens. But when you add a book yourself, do not forget the 4 spaces!

I added the cover for you.

You just made my day. Thank you so much. (What do you want from Starbucks? ;-)

I'll have a green tea latte please, to be sent to Shanghai. You're lucky, although I live on the over side of the world, there's one Starbucks just around the corner ;-)

Jocking aside, do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions.
