Garth Jones (passtheamyl) | 5 comments Hi,

The following title has been mis-attributed to another Garth Jones (I'm the actual one).

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Is there a way to ensure this doesn't happen for future titles?

Thanks,

Garth

Not sure if it's a book at all. Certainly the spelling needs work.

The first looks to me like a compound. The others are individuals which might fit.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Punctuation in name. This author has 234 books, but correcting the name might be enough.
United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.
Now the hard part. When I input that to the search box, a long list of this author name appeared. The page link below is just the one I found first, the author link on top is the first in the list.

Garth Jones (passtheamyl) | 5 comments Hi,

This title is attributed to the wrong Garth Jones, and is actually also a double.

Could you please remove?

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Books by Walter Farley, will be ideal for a Librarian who loves horses.
Walter Farley
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Many books are repeated due to title errors such as
The Black Stallion's Filly[ THE BLACK STALLION'S FILLY ] by Farley, Walter (Author) Jun-01-78[ Hardcover ]

The Balck Stallion

The Black Stallions and Satan ( Black Stallion # F-5)

The Black Stallions Courage

The Black Stalion

Also seeing spurious instances of the author, combined names with illustrator or co-author likely.

Walter Farley;Steven Farley
Walter Farley (Illustrated by Harold Eldridge)
Walter Farley & Stephen Farley

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments There's a long list of authors called . Alexander
In this case, it's because Mrs was removed.
. Alexander
Mrs Alexander

There's also a long list of authors called Mrs Alexander, this one looks odd.
Mrs Alexander Kennedy Mrs Alexander


I don't know if there is a purpose in . before the surname, I will list them next on the basis there probably isn't.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments John Brady, crime author, has many repetitions in his book list.

This entry for a book belongs with the one below.
John Brady John Henry Brady

John Henry Brady is the generally credited author of Clavis Calendaria, which is in the crime author's list.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Hi K.T.
If this is important, as a new title might be, I suggest starting a new thread for this topic, as it may be a while before a Librarian works her / his way down this list.
Good wishes for your new book.

It's showing the one with the working cover:

And it needs to be this one, with the official cover:
