James Barclay; Semicolon needs removing, I don't know if they're the same but the first is likely to be the same as this book's author:

Author too long for link box, a combination.

This book and cover do not match, title is confused and seems to include author name. Author given as AA and looks like it should be Dr. Agarwal.

AA turns out to be a popular assignment for several with author plainly stated in title.

As an author myself, I know you should have a tool to do this. Try going to your Author Dashboard and clicking on Books. That should bring up nothing but the books, and on right of that page is a link to Combine. This will then ask you which books in your list need combining.
The main thing is only to do one at a time. You can't undo a combine and would have to ask the Librarians for help.
Hope this is useful. If you can't do this, one of the Librarians will help out.
I just checked your page and see you are asking for a book on another author's list to be moved to you. That's one you can't do yourself. You can merge editions that already show as yours.

Author's surname should have a capital letter, according to book cover and inside copy.

Could someone please add the correct informations:
Author(s) name(s): Virgílio
Translator: Carlos Ascenso André
Language: Portuguese
Publisher: Sétimo Selo
Publication date: March 20, 2023
Format: Paperback
Page count: 380
Description: A Eneida é um clássico na primeira acepção do termo: obra que se torna paradigma poético e modelo a ser imitado. É nela que tantos grandes poetas, de Dante a Camões, se inspiraram, na saga de Eneias, troiano que, escapado da Guerra de Troia com a ajuda divina, viaja rumo à Itália, onde os fados lhe predestinaram fundar uma nova cidade, berço de um povo grandioso e de um império sem fim. Artista incomparável do verso e da música das palavras, Virgílio dedicou seus últimos dez anos de vida a essa epopeia única, ao mesmo tempo a epopeia de Roma e da condição humana, tão luminosa quanto sombria, tão alicerçada no passado mítico como no futuro.
Acompanhada de textos introdutórios, resumos dos cantos, notas e um dicionário dos principais personagens, termos e lugares, a tradução de Carlos Ascenso André, especialista em literatura latina, é fruto de muitos anos de esmero e pretende ser “um compromisso entre um trabalho de qualidade e rigor e uma obra ao alcance do grande público”. A tradução em verso livre mantém a proximidade ao original e oferece ao leitor a possibilidade de travar contato com a obra-prima de Virgílio e um dos livros fundamentais da nossa civilização.
