This book is wrongly listed as the Italian edition of The Empire of Isher. It is not. It's a "sequel" to The Empire of Isher series ghost written by italian author Roberta Rambelli. It was not written by Van Vogt and does not exist in any other language except Italian.

Amazon, Wikipedia, and the Internet Science Fiction Database all seem to indicate that Van Vogt is listed as an author. See for example http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg...Can you point to a source that definitively says he is not?
Yes, check this link for Isfdb: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?4...It clearly states: “Le armi di Isher. Parte seconda" is an original Italian omnibus. Contains two novels, written by Roberta Rambelli on a plot agreed upon with A. E. van Vogt, with fake english titles”
You can also check the Catalogo Vegetti by inserting the title “Le armi di Isher parte seconda” which basically states the same thing.
Since it is part 2 of something I have at least separated it from the original novel, since it clearly isn't the same.
Scott wrote: "Since it is part 2 of something I have at least separated it from the original novel, since it clearly isn't the same."That's a start. But the authos should be changed too, or at least, added on as co-author, although it is not the case because Rambelli wrote the whole thing with Van Vogt merely agreeing with the plot.
I've updated the primary author to be Rambelli, and moved Van Vogt to be a Contributor.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
