Alex | 2 comments This book [and all editions of it] is the only distinct work by this author, Jonathan Hale. On the Jonathan Hale author page it lists 11 distinct works, but the other 10 are by one or more authors who share the same name.

How would I go about having this fixed? Thanks!

The Old Way of Seeing

Jonathan Hale

Are you sure only one book is his? There seem to be a few books there about architecture.

Martin | 36099 comments Could this be the author?

Edit - I moved several books to this page as I was able to confirm the correct author

I see that you moved some books and separated that author already. Thanks!

On the Jonathan Hale author page which has The Old Way Of Seeing, it also lists 4 other distinct works, but I can tell you for certain that those are also not written by the same Jonathan Hale who wrote The Old Way Of Seeing.

I am a close relative of his and am certain of this, as I showed him the page (linked below) and asked him about it directly. I'm not sure what proof I can give, but I will happily give any proof that you request. Thanks very much!

Edit: To put it more clearly, the Jonathan Hale who wrote The Old Way Of Seeing has not published ANY other distinct works. Can those other works be removed from the author page I just linked?
