You can see them through the "add book.author" tool in the discussion boards.

Radio programs but absolutely hilarious if you are in the mood, though of course nab. But if you like old radio, worth a listen. Just a recommendation.
Author that needs to be combined with one of the other Dalai Lama authors.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Probably should NAB a bunch of these then as well ...
Bob Elliott
Ray Goulding
Re 770: only needed one each NABed, but some disambiguation now needed.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...David^^^^^Nicholls- Already separated out four others, but now still left with a mash of genres
775 - I got a lot of them, but there were 7 that were beyond me.
Kidsbooks is a publisher incorrectly attributed as an author. The authors on these have been pretty easy to find, but I'm going to leave the link here because they mostly need combining with other editions once found and the combine server is down right now.
I got 6 more of the Randells (msgs 775 and 776), but there's 1 that's beyond me, too.

Took awhile, but this is down to 4 now -- authors, not pages.

Two of these may just have the author name Brian--I can't find anything else for him anyway. The 3rd may not be a book at all: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39... --?

Hmm. The ones I changed for "Megan" (#784) are still showing up under that name. I didn't want to change it to "various" while there were still books associated. What to do? Just wait it out?
Its a caching issue - if you go to the author profile and select the "2 distinct works" link under the author profile you'll see that there are 0 books

Okay, how to fix this? There are two authors with same name: Sarah Madison.This book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97... SHOULD BELONG to This Sarah Madison: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
But what happens is that the book is listed under the other Sarah Madison's (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...) works.
Anyone can help fixing it? Can anyone tell me how?
I have combined the two profiles, since they were not properly disambiguated (no librarian notes; not on disambig list). Probably an extra space was put in one of the names by mistake. It looks to me like the arthritis book is the only one that might not belong, but I can't find any info on that book.
Author: Harry Potter. Some of the books are books with the franchise name, but my knowledge of Romantic languages is too rusty to tell if it's some kid adding fake books or a book needing reattribution.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
