Merging and deletion of several wrong entries of a Spanish grammar book

[Myrcella]

I write this because this book, Curso Superior de SintaxisGILI GAYA SAMUEL Española, has several, if not dozens of editions in Goodreads and most of them don't even have a proper cover page or even the author's name. As this is a work that requires several actions, both merging and deleting broken works, I figured this is the right place to write the request.

They should all be merged into this one I'm referring to in the topic, as it is the one that has the most amount of (correct) information and ratings (7), but with two main edits:

- First of all, the author's name is Samuel Gili Gaya. The "y" is not correct, as it means "and" in Spanish, therefore it cannot be a different author with a similar name, it's a mistake and both name variations should be the same author.

Correct name: Samuel Gili Gaya

All incorrect names related to that book:
Samuel Gili y Gaya
GILI GAYA SAMUEL
unknown author

- The Paperback edition should have a better picture, which is the edition that I have. If needed, I could provide a high quality picture of the 11th Paperback edition (green cover as seen in Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espa????ola by Samuel Gili Gaya) as my copy of the book is in perfect conditions. I can also give any information found in my copy to create a correct entry.

I counted 10 different cover-less and even author-less editions for this single book. Here's a detailed explanation of what is wrong with each one:

Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espa????ola by Samuel Gili Gaya — Correct author, correct cover (but could be much higher quality), incorrect title missing the "ñ"
CURSO SUPERIOR DE SINTAXIS ESPANOLA VOX — Incorrectly added author name (last name, first name format) and incorrect usage of all caps.
Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espanola — Correct author, with missing cover and missing ñ letter in Espanola (Española).
Curso Superior De Sintaxis Espanola — Missing cover, missing author and missing ñ.
Curso superior de sintaxis española. — Missing cover, missing author, missing correct capitalization, and has a period (.) at the end
Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espanola by Samuel Gili Gaya — Missing author although it's incorrectly added into the title of the book, and missing cover.
Curso Superior de Sintaxis Española — Correct title, correct author, but missing cover.
Curso superior de Sintáxis española — Correct author, almost correct title but with incorrect capitalization, and no cover.

It's all very confusing and that book deserves to have one quality entry only, with all of its variations throughout the years as it is an old, niche book.

Thank you for your attention on this matter,
hope it gets fixed and I can help throughout.

Have a nice day!

Entries combined, some obvious duplicates merged. Covers where added when found on Amazon, feel free to submit the missing ones if you wish.

The name "Samuel Gili y Gaya" should be retained as secondary author in some cases, as this variant was used in a few editions (like this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

Please provide more information about your edition (especially the ISBN, if present) as the proposed entry Curso Superior de Sintaxis Española may be a duplicate.

Alright, thank you! Good to know about the secondary name.

Here's the ISBN of my edition: 84-7153-307-3

It's 11th edition, reprint, April 1989.

The proposed entry you mention is exactly the book I have, at least the cover.

By the way, the wrong entries Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espa??ola by Samuel Gili Gaya and Curso Superior de Sintaxis Espa?ola by Samuel Gili Gaya (1993) Paperback are still up!

Also, how do I submit my cover photo?

[Javier]

Then it appears to be a duplicate of Curso Superior de Sintaxis Española. If that is the same cover of your edition, I'll proceed to merge both entries (we don't add new entries for later pressings with the same cover and ISBN, but we can update the data if needed).
