paperlove (mrspaperlove) | 223 comments Some of them are notebooks, but not all. You are right I deleted the link though before someone marked all the books as invalid. Thanks for pointing it out.

Mesembryanthemum | 194 comments Just a note to say HOORAY and thanks for your work. I had noticed an insane notebook problem a few days ago, but things are better now. (Not gone, of course, but I can usually find what I'm searching for instead of being buried in notebooks.)

All your work is greatly appreciated.

Mesembryanthemum | 194 comments P.S. I NAB-ed a few thousand myself, but quickly became exhausted. I admire those of you who have been able to keep making progress.

(Edit to fix my wording.)

No, this is an "author" that is already done. Sometimes it shows individual books under the search term after the notebooks have been NAB'd. You can ignore that and NAB the book entries of another "author".

Karin | 3219 comments Oké, I found it already strange. Thanks for explaining.

I would take that link out, there are some books in there that are legit and should not be NAB'd.

I stumbled across these while searching for a book.
I hope it's ok that I post here.

paperlove (mrspaperlove) | 223 comments Someone has been very hardworking and NAB'd almost all the author profiles I just posted over the weekend. Thanks for the help!

However, it's getting harder and harder to find the author profiles with that many books (+ 1k and more). There are thousands of different invalid author profiles with only a few books (100 books or less) that still need to be marked as invalid.

If someone finds such " big" author profiles (with several thousand invalid books / notebooks / journals etc.), you are welcome to post the links or author profiles here.

I will continue to post links here if I find such authors, but I can't post updates every day when the work is done so quickly and the profiles are so hard to find.

So I recommend that all librarians who help out here also search for themselves in the Goodreads search bar for keywords like "notebook" or the German "Notizbuch", and NAB the smaller author profiles.

For instance: https://www.goodreads.com/search?page...

Someone did this wrong, it needs to be "NOT A BOOK" in capital letters in order to mark the books as invalid. And i can't change it, since i get an error message, every time i try to NAB this profile.
