Christine (christinerobinson) | 15 comments Thank you so much! The only thing I'm seeing that's off is the language for the Ahndraya Parlato book. The goodreads listings say the language is French but the Amazon listing says it is in English. I have the book here and it is in English only.

Christine (christinerobinson) | 15 comments I'm also confused because I thought the remedy was to merge records to get rid of the blank records, but two identical records exist for both books. Any chance you could help me understand? Thank you!

Thanks for pointing out this error. I found a description in English from the publisher, on WorldCat. I've corrected both the description and the language identification.
