Abcdarian | 26579 comments When checking Worldcat for an author for this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73...
what looks like a completely different book came up:
http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/04500028...

I don't know how to handle this.

The first one was easy -- even Amazon now agrees that the old data is wrong, so I did a refresh-and-override, and fixed the author.

The second one is a bit harder. Amazon, Google Books, and WorldCat each have different info. However, Amazon is most likely to be wrong, and WorldCat most like to be right. (And no one has even shelved that book.) So I suggest manually changing all the data to match WorldCat on that record (with a comment that that is what you have done).
