Elizabeth (Alaska) I think this may be something a Super needs to address.

This edition has only the publisher and author/intro:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
(You can see by my edits that I found it on a wrong author and have done some work on it.)

I feel safe in saying it is a duplicate of this edition with which it needs to be merged:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

When I try to separate the edition with so many adds, I get a "site cannot be reached" error message. I see now that it has over 10k adds, so is probably something a super needs to do.

And then, of course, it needs to be recombined with

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I hope I've been clear. Thank you!

(Merges are taking very long today; I'll keep an eye on it and will recombine once the merge has gone through)

Is that because Scott Fitzgerald is entirely within F. Scott Fitzgerald?

I found this on the Scott Fitzgerald profile and changed several, but I'll be glad not to go through that process in future. ;-)

Indeed.
(Just like when only a last name is printed on the cover, we add the complete name.)

Elizabeth (Alaska) Thanks for the reminder.

I will happily go back and "unfix" those. No point in having extraneous stuff out there.

Arenda | 26447 comments Merge has gone through and I've recombined the valid edition.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Thank you!
