Debi Cates (not getting notifications GRrrrr) (debicates) | 32 comments Can that book be added back in? It's a valid book.

Scott | 9521 comments No, it isn't. Books with titles like that on GR almost never are. (The author name was also garbled.)
If you search again you will find the real record.

Debi Cates (not getting notifications GRrrrr) (debicates) | 32 comments I see. Thank you. There are two identical copies in the search results for that title, both describing an individual copy of the book, rather than the edition. Is that normal/desired?

Scott | 9521 comments I removed the description. If you have the book and there is a jacket description, you can provide it if you wish.

For this copy,
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

"A comprehensive examination by French art historian Maurice Rheims of the Art Nouveau movement and its impact on art, architecture, and decorative arts. With 607 illustrations, that include the item's location."
