and this book title needs tidying, while others are listed separately for editions.

RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT;
RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT given as one author in both cases. Below is the same duo.
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc.

Given as a name for a collective. Two of the books at least are stated to be videos, and one book has edition details in title.

I can't find this author Alan Garner by typing his name in the search box. He has one book Conversationally Speaking which is shown four times in his list.
His name as credited with a quote shows as
Alan Garner, author, “The 16% Solution” ’endorsed by “ Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author. Safely double passive income.
Undoubtedly this is not his legal name or pen name.

Has a couple of books with multiple entries.
These listings pair his name with another name which may be illustrator or translator.
Greg McKeown ; Bảo Thư dịch
Greg McKeown;Bảo Thư

He calls himself Dr Bob in his blog address, and some of his books appear twice, or are credited to Robert Schwenk and to Bob Schwenk.
Bob Schwenk Appears to be the same person, has one book listed 3 times.

Needs to be split into Paul Garn and Robert Schwenker
and their joint books resolved.

Author given in one as Phillip Knightley, Harold Evans, Elaine Potter, Marjorie Wallace, need separating. The book is probably on each of their pages already, if so could be removed.

Maxwell's list has a few that need titles tidying, such as

3 instances of 1 book need combining. Also the author bio is written in all caps, which is very hard on the eyes, if that is something you correct.

wrote all the British showjumping girl books during the 1960s. The man who writes about witchcraft today is a different person.
http://petergrey.ponymadbooklovers.co...
"Peter Grey
Peter Grey was one of the few male writers of pony books in the UK during the 1950s and 60s. He was born in London in 1918. He worked as a journalist working as a London and European correspondent. He was later Fiction editor for Girl in the early 50's contributing a number of stories himself.
Between 1959 and 1961 he wrote the Kit Hunter series. They were published by World and the first two novels were reprinted in Girl in 1959, illustrated by Harry Lindfield. He also wrote 3 more short series, although these were not horse related."

Some of the above need to be merged.
Seems likely to me that the 1960s British author also wrote:

There's another couple with the witchcraft man that don't fit, a manga and a small kids' book. Might be two more authors.

I was inserting a quote and had to use the version which had the book. You may want to tidy the attribution as well. And the book should be Africa's Bane: The Tsetse Fly.
... 1946 I visited the area to find no fusca, but bare mountains, grassland, and only a few patches of low secondary thicket.”
― T. A. M Nash, Africa's bane: the tsetse fly
I then placed a second quote but was not given the option of a book; it is from the same book.

Does not seem like a correct spelling. J. A Ṣofọla
That's how Amazon shows it.
WorldCat has the book
https://search.worldcat.org/title/Rec...
Author: J. A. Ṣofọla
Problem looks to be the text marks for variants of letters. Maybe the computer will accept them now. If not, maybe you could write it as Sofola, which would be more recognisable.
