Dear Sir / Madam
Can you help with my author page please as I have a number of issues:
1) I need this version of my book Super Secrets of the Successful First-Time Jobseeker (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) merging with this version (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) please as it's the same book.
2) I need these two books deleting as they were created in error – https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
3) I need this book adding please (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) – I tried to do this already but without success. This is why I ended up with the problem in 2) above.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards, Simon

The duplicates will disappear shortly.

When you add a book, you will need to know that the way Goodreads differentiates between authors of the same name is with spaces between the first and last name. Your author profile is

Simon^^Gray where the ^ equals a space.

If an automatic upload from Amazon or other sources puts your publication under the default profile with 1 space, a volunteer librarian will be happy to move it for you. It takes just a few seconds to do.

If you need to ask for help, it helps the librarians to mention that yours is the "2 space" profile, but this is not required.

I made minor title corrections to use standard title case, which is part of the Goodreads cataloging standards.
