Aprilleigh (aprilleighlauer) | 40 comments It looks like someone combined just about everything by Jack London that contained either The Call of the Wild or White Fang, regardless of whether it was a single title, both titles in a single volume, or one of the titles with unspecified "other stories." The sheer volume of individual works in this combined work is ridiculous (over 6000), and I spent close to 2 hours carefully attempting to separate at least those that were clearly a combination of the two mentioned and nothing else, including those with foreign language titles I was able to decipher. When I tried to submit the job I got hit repeatedly with "405 not allowed." I do not currently have the bandwidth to try again, particularly as I have no idea what the source of the 405 error was.

Whoever did this should not be a librarian. This is a huge mess, and undoes all the careful work of those who had originally separated these into their proper groups. I hope someone has the time to take this on, because I'm closing in on another graduate degree and just don't have the time for something this big.
