Miss Pageturner (misspageturner) | 1567 comments Hi, I combined all the books I could identify as one by title and blurb. The fact that there are still so many (from 18 pages to 16) and it looks like duplications is because the author often publishes a story first as 4-5 short stories, and then all together again as a single volume. All this usually with the same title and only numbers as an addition and the same cover. So it still seems like a lot of things are duplicated, but short stories and anthologies can't be combined.

I didn't look directly for duplicates, but my impression was that almost everything had ASINs or ISBNs and are imports from bots, so most of it seems to be legitimate entries.
