:-D If you combine in the next ten minutes, you get to combine another one free

#207 made the editor the primary author on one of the editions and combined

#208 Changed author name to what is on the cover (and the GR author name) for two of the editions and combined. Added a cover to one of them from Amazon.

Fixed spelling of author's name in each edition and combined under the name on the cover.

L.J. Fox | 7 comments This book belongs to this author's page.
There is a typo with author name. Please remove space in author's name so it is L.J. Fox and not L. J. Fox.

François Vigneault (francois-vigneault) | 54 comments Hi, hope this is the right thread for this. Thanks in advance for your help!

My new book 13e Avenue just came out and has showed up here on GR, getting ratings and reviews, yay. It is correctly linked to my profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

BUT two issues. In the above listing my coauthor Geneviève Pettersen has had a new profile created for her:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

She is already an author on GR with her other books listed:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

So if 13e Avenue can be attributed to the correct profile that would be great (merge, etc).

Also noticed there is a faulty listing for the book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

With the author listed as PETTERSEN GENEV:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

That one should just be deleted, I reckon.

Many thanks, and I appreciate your help!

Emily | 17471 comments #229 Thanks for the explanations. I merged the 'empty' Geneviève Pettersen profile under her "real" profile. You may want to ask her if she is interested in claiming her profile as a Goodreads Author, so that she can edit the info on it.
I am going to merge the ISBN in the rogue book record into the more complete one.
This will all take a couple days to appear properly.

L.J. Fox | 7 comments Sorry I did not explain this very well (from message 219). The author name should only be changed for the book Viktoria so the author for Viktoria is L.J. Fox (no space between initials)

The remaining books should stay with author name L. J. Fox (with space between initials).

I am author L.J. Fox and I should have 2 books in my dashboard.
Viktoria and White Lilies.

Correct author page is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Goodreads policy is to not have space between the initials.

You have a 2-space profile (L.J.^^Fox, where ^=space)
I moved your second book to your profile.

Thank you. I didn't realise. I hope if I change it my books will not disappear.

Rhian (rhianima) | 2 comments Hello - could you combine these copies? Probably separate due to how the author names are listed.

Thank you. :)
