Alyssa | 31 comments Hi!
I have a few different requests for the same book.

This is the WorldCat page for verification: https://search.worldcat.org/title/91328

---

First, I came across two listings that are the same book. I believe this will be a case of merging, but I'm sorry if that's not the correct terminology.

>> Here are the two listings:
1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

---

Second, both list the incorrect author.

This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) lists "Mary Black Ammi Phillips" as the author. This author is not a real person. It was incorrectly filed. "Ammi Phillips" and "Mary Black" are two separate people.

^ Plus, Mary Black only wrote the introduction.

The second book just needs to have a second author added. The authors should be listed as "Barbara C. Holdridge" and "Lawrence B. Holdridge"

^Also, I'm not sure how GR categorizes, but the particular library book I have my hands on lists "Ammi Phillips" as the author, but WorldCat doesn't.

Thank you so much!!
