Amber (ukaunz) | 18 comments I tried to fix this book's details as it had "unknown author". I added Rick Morton as the author and then combined editions, but now the author of this book is showing as another person called Rick Morton, not the correct one. The correct author is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Scott | 8785 comments Here is how you can do it yourself:

1. Navigate to the correct author.
2. Click on one of his books and go into edit mode. (If it was not a GR Author, you could go into edit on the author itself.)
3. Copy the author name field to get the correct formatting (or just make note of how many spaces it has. This author has two.)
4. Navigate back to the erroneous book records, and paste the correct formatted name (or insert the appropriate amount of spaces.)
5. Save!
