Jon Tilton (jontilton) | 4 comments Hi there,

I'm a new author and am having some difficulty getting my page to show the proper information when it comes to the "other books by this author" section.

First, there is a book titled Rawmazing Desserts. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The above is not a real book. I believe it was made as a joke by the fans of Brian Brushwood (the author of magic books). Technically I believe the book should be deleted, but I would at the very least like to have my name removed from this particular book.

The next book in question is in fact a real book, but I believe the way it was cataloged is inaccurate to reality. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I am listed as an author on the second above book (with Illustrator in parentheses). However, I did the layout for this book and should not be listed as an illustrator. The publisher incorrectly put me in here as an illustrator. I would like to have my name removed from this book.

Thanks very much!

Jon Tilton

David Raz (davidraz) | 12846 comments I removed your name from Rawmazing Desserts. I can't delete a book which may have existed, for this you will need to contact support.

As for the second, you did not link the correct book, but I did manage to find another edition with a listing of you as an illustrator. I removed that listing since the cover says "John Tilton" and combined with what you say, I feel that is the correct way to resolve it.

Jon Tilton (jontilton) | 4 comments Thanks David! I had been stressing about this since I got my Goodreads listing. Thanks for finding the correct book and getting this taken care of. Really appreciate you. I'll mark this as closed.

Hi David--there's a similar issue to what you helped resolve a few months ago. There's another Scam School book which I helped with the layout for that wasn't popping up on my page before, but is now. Similarly, the name on the cover is John Tilton, so I was wondering if it's possible to simply remove Jon Tilton as the illustrator as you did with the other book. Again like before the name is incorrect and it's not an accurate representation of my involvement on this project. Thank you!

I hope I linked it correctly this time!

Better remove [resolved] from the topic title if you post a new request in this thread.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12846 comments I removed you from that book as well.
