Does This Cape Make Me Look Fat?: Pop Psychology for Superheroes I think the listing for ISBN 9780749301057 has the wrong title and authors. This should be The Compleat Traveller in Black by John Brunner.

The author is listed as "Brian Lane" and should be "Mark Lane". Amazon appears to have the same error. You can compare with the WorldCat listing.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This author list has a few books with double or triple entries. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

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

One book on this page is listed by its ISBN with no cover or blurb, probably should be merged with one of the others.https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLTRINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT;
RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT given as one author in both cases. Below is the same duo.
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc.
Irwin 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.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...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.
Greg McKeownHas 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
Robert SchwenkHe 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.
Garn Paul D Schwenker Robert FNeeds to be split into Paul Garn and Robert Schwenker
and their joint books resolved.
Phillip Knightley, Harold Evans, Elaine Potter, Marjorie WallaceAuthor 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.

Would you please remove from - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
And add to my page
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thank you, Deborah Brown
My co-author is listed twice on this book and I'm not listed at all. Please add me to "Discovering Good News in John" and remove one of Pam Farrel's listings: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...Thanks.
Thanks again, Mousum! I spotted this book has the author's name in twice. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This author Peter Grey has several books by someone else. This one:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
wrote all the British showjumping girl books during the 1960s. The man who writes about witchcraft today is a different person.

"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 found a few different iterations of the same author.T A M Nash

T.A.M. Nash
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.
J. A ṢofọlaDoes 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.
