Alex Riedel | 6 comments Golden Garland of Eloquence - Vol. 1

I am trying to edit this book and make a few corrections to it, but I am unable to save my changes because another previous librarian has somehow managed to link the book's description to Amazon - as in, right below the description box, I see text that says: "Setting default (only one edition for this book).
Description Source amazon_catalog"...I can still edit the description, but I don't know how to un-attach this linkage, as I suppose that this is the reason why my changes can't be saved. Is this a superlibrarian capability only? I've tried to find ways to fix it, but can't see anything at the moment. Thanks a lot!

Ah! That worked. Makes sense that the website would think that whatever would follow a period is similar to the dot in ".com". Thanks a lot!
