Kate Darroch (katedarroch) | 25 comments There are 2 pages for this book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
is the correct page.
The book is an anthology, one of a series of 13 by Aconite Cafe

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
is the second, incorrect version, where the book is incorrectly attributed to Dianne Bator, who is simply one of several authors in the anthology.

However, that is the page on which the books reviews appear.
Please port the reviews over to the correct book page
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Many thanks

I am aslo one of the authors in the anthology, but until the book has been correctly merged with the right attribution, I cannot claim the book.

Lookign forward to seeing these 2 corrections

Many thanks for your help
best wishes
Kate Darroch

David Raz (davidraz) | 13314 comments The "incorrect version" is a Kindle version. Surely, you are not asking us to remove the Kindle edition.
I combined the two works instead.
Aconite Cafe is not a person so it cannot be attributed as an editor. I used the first author of the anthology as the primary author instead.

None of this required a superlibrarian. Please post future requests in the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder.

Kate Darroch (katedarroch) | 25 comments Thank you

The primary aythor and series editor is Verena DeLuca, who owns Aconite Cafe Publishing.

Would you make that change please>
Because the person to whom you are attrbuting to is a newcomer to this series of anthologies, Verena DeLuca draws the author order out of a hat, different in each book, the order has Zero significance, but Verena DeLuca is the correct author to credit.

Many thanks

Kate Darroch (katedarroch) | 25 comments PS no I was not asking for removal.
I asked for Merge, which I was told earlier was the correct term to use.
Should I now use the term Combine instead of the term Merge?

Kate Darroch (katedarroch) | 25 comments Also, I will in future post in "Book & Author Page Issues" folder. Thank you for the info.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13314 comments Added Verena DeLuca as the editor and primary author.
Merging is equivalent to deleting. If you just want several editions made into one work without deleting any edition, it is called combining.
