Arenda | 26448 comments #52-54 nothing mistaken combined here, but primary author corrected where needed, and single editions combined.
Can't confirm the content of The Grey Brethren, if the additional content is included or just the single story.

#55 done

Liz V. (wwwgoodreadscomlizv) | 43475 comments Thank you Arenda.

##52-54
I've come across a number of books combined despite different primary authors, in violation of GR rules. Rather than compound the problem, I posted here. I've changed heading of thread. But see query please.

#55
I was focused on Wild Wales.

Move John George Wenham to author line as secondary author and then delete beginning with first comma :
Readings From The Old Testament, Arranged With Notes, By J.g. Wenham
Readings from the Old Testament, Arranged with Notes, by J.G. Wenham
Readings from the Old Testament, Arranged with Notes, by J.G. Wenham
Readings From The Old Testament, Arranged With Notes, By J.g. Wenham

Add Anonymous as primary author and delete beginning with first comma up to Volume number :
Readings from the Old Testament, arranged with notes, by J.G. Wenham Volume 1*
Readings from the Old Testament, Arranged With Notes, by J.G. Wenham

*Should Volume 1 be combined as it is currently?

Arenda | 26448 comments #52-54 Since the book was originally published under the pen name Michael Fairless, that name has to be the primary author on all editions. Editions with the actual author's name on the cover should have the pen name primary and the actual name secondary. There is no need to add the actual author name to the editions with the pen name on the cover.
The author profiles each have a link to the other profile.

Arenda | 26448 comments #57 I don't think Anonymous has to stay. Corrected titles and combined.
Added Volume 1 according to the cover to the edition that is combined with the other Volume 1.

Liz V. (wwwgoodreadscomlizv) | 43475 comments Thank you Arenda.

Every time I think that I understand the rules, I find I don't.

Elizabeth (Alaska) #66 done (I don't see any mistaken/improper combines on this though)

Thank you Elizabeth. Sorry for my confusion.


Elizabeth (Alaska) It's OK, Liz. Some of the books have the subtitle and some do not. I just wanted you to know that I left them combined on purpose, not as an oversight.

Ellen Goodlett (egoodlett) | 1 comments Hi, noticed a mistake, hope this is the correct place to post about it:
The Digital Nomad Survival Guide: How to Successfully Travel the World While Working Remotely incorrectly has the cover for a different book on its page. Cover should be the same one linked here.

As for the book with that cover, there appear to be two editions that need combined:
Digital Nomads: In Search of Meaningful Work in the New Economy
and
second entry without any reviews.
Apologies if this is the wrong thread to post this, let me know!

'Izzat Radzi (izzatradzi10) | 19 comments Hi.

There's a wrong combo of this Budaya Lisan Melayu: Konsep dan Amalan.

It is a standalone new book.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #70 yes it's the wrong thread :) has nothing to do with mistaken combines but I did combine the books you mentioned and corrected the author names on these.

As for the cover issue you mentioned, I will write to staff about this.
