Dear Rivka, this book is not mine:DOCOMOMO by Catherine Cooke
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I'm Catherine Cooke, a fantasy author, not the Catherine Cooke (deceased) who wrote about Russian architecture. Thanks for your help!
The book appears on my Catherine Cooke author dashboard along with my fantasy novels.

I hope I'm doing this right, but there are several books showing on my author profile that are not mine. The wrong books are:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Done.
It may take some time for the books to disappear completely from your profile page.
These three novels are showing up under another author who shares my name. Please move them to my profile. Thank you!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

It's not on your profile, and don't change the author name to something that is not a name just to get it off your profile.

Hey, This book is mine, though it's under another version of my name (I have 3 spaces between first & last). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Before I really understood how GoodReads worked, I must've accidentally duped it (there IS a version of the book showing under my profile, so is it possible to link this one to me and delete the dupe under my profile? This one has been rated) -
Apologies for any inconvenience .. :)
Also, this bundle is under the wrong name; again, it's mine, but under another version of my name: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5.... I didn't add this one, and I can't work out how to 'claim' a book that's already been added (if it can be done?).
Both books were automatically imported from Amazon.When publications are automatically imported from Amazon or other sources, the "handshake' between Goodreads and the other source do not recognize multiple spaces, so the work goes to the default 1 space profile. Often when users/readers add works, they may not be familiar with the number of spaces that this profile uses, so may only use the default spacing.
Librarians correct this on behalf of authors who share names dozens of times daily, and is a VERY easy thing to do.
If you add a book to your profile without an identifying number, either an ASIN or ISBN, the automatic import will not recognize that the book exists and will import it to the "default" profile, which is what happened in this case, and created a duplicate edition.
This forum is a resource for you, so please feel free to ask to move your book to your profile at any time.
Hello! I have freshly registered and Goodreads assigned to my Author's Account a list of books that I have either written, or translated, or (lately) illustrated. There is one book I know nothing about: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...This one doesn't belong to me. It was another Joanna Pasek who wrote it. Please help me to fix it. Thanks for help!
Joanna wrote: "Hello! I have freshly registered and Goodreads assigned to my Author's Account a list of books"done; it may take a couple days to disappear from your profile.

Hi there,There are two separate listings for my book 'Big H and Little h Dog' and one is listed under a different author with the same name Victoria Smith - please could someone combined the listings and remove the association with the wrong author. My picture is taken outside and I have 'read' the book. I think it has 7 ratings on my page and 2 on the other listing - be great if I can retain these when they are combined if possible. Many thanks, Victoria
Good afternoon all, Hope your day is going well.
Please could you migrate this book to my profile (I have 3 spaces between names):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thank you!

Hi there,My author account was approved yesterday but it appears that the books I selected as having been written by me were actually decoupled from my profile and now I'm only associated with books written by another author or authors who shares my name (there are around 30 of them).
The ones that should be associated with me are these two:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
All the others are attributed to someone else and should be removed from my profile. Thank you!
