Bur Davis | 48 comments Hi there:

Observed:
- View record for "The King at the Edge of the World" by Arthur Phillips, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- Click on Author link just beneath book title
- Land on https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
- Books listed there not authored by this person, viz "The Law Relating to the Land Tenures of Lower Bengal (Classic Reprint)"

Expected:
- When I click on the author link, I expect to land on a list of only the books by that author
- (By contrast, when I search for "Arthur Phillips", I would expect to see all books by anyone named Arthur Phillips)

Is this behavior expected?

If not, what's the process for unlinking "The Law Relating to the Land Tenures of Lower Bengal (Classic Reprint)" from author 16223.Arthur_Phillips?

Thanks,

Bur.

Any books not belonging on that profile would have to be sorted by a librarian familiar with the author(s).
