Not sure about Tatiana. Fixed EVOLUTION.
LOL @ papa jack. It looks to me to be someone trying to get some free advertising. No book/edition has any kind of ISBN or identification, no one has any book/edition shelved, and they all link to asiawriters.com, which seems to be a site for freelance writers to find work. I'd say it can be deleted.

Unfortunately, some of the books overlap in the lists provided and some are not listed at all. I've done what I could to try and sort them but a few may still need to be moved.

Ummm...that one's a Goodreads author. And the second book (the one with the really long title that looks like it's an OLD book) *does* have a listing in WorldCat as being by "L."
Heather wrote: "l.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/..."
The second is an actual book: http://www.archive.org/details/a60980...
It's listed as author "L" there, too. But when you actually get into the record, it's author unknown.
This book We Didn't Do Anything Wrong, Hardly has the illustrator Freas, listed as the author but the author should be Roger Kuykendall

Hi, I'm a GR author and I need a kind librarian to help me add the Nook edition of my novel The Honeymoon Assignment. The link is http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-h...Thank you.

Do we treat these as historical figures or do they get merged with Various, Anonymous, etc.?King Solomon.

Anybody konws if translator Jose Luis Lopez Munoz's name is actually spelled this way? In correct Spanish it'd be
José Luis López Muñoz
, but his profile has so many books that I don't dare changing it without being sure...

Found that out by happenstance.
On the other hand, if you're searching for him, you probably already know the name of at least one of his books, and can pull him up that way, and click on the author's name to get to the profile.
What to do, what to do, huh?
Thanks Shay, that was helpfull... and don't worry Beth, you won't have that problem, I already tried it without the marks and accents and it still works.
Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I would like to know how to delete a book that is no longer in print. The hardback of One Small Victory is still coming up, but it has been out of print for almost a year. The e-book and paperback are available and they are all connected, so I don't know if that is why I can't delete it. ?????Appreciate any help any one can offer.
Books that are out of print are not deleted since they once existed and may be in the libraries of many people/libraries. If they were most of the books on my lists would be gone.
Thanks for letting me know MissJessie. I just didn't want to mislead people. The e-versions are available, but I don't see those prominently displayed. Oh, well... LOL
Mod
for what it's worth, I tried doing a search for Jose Luis Lopez Munoz, now that the marks and accents have been added, and he doesn't come up...
This authorhttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
shows up in lists as "Jr., Albert A. Bell" and I don't know how to fix it, even though I have librarian status.
The same is true for
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Neither of these authors has the last name of Jr.

Based on a few searches, this Twilight is a single-name Japanese artist who writes hentai manga. Unfortunately, searching for Twilight and any sort of phrase including manga bring up a million searches for the Twilight series mangas.

LEAVING IT ALONE. Please! I'm still having to undo lots of problems from the last time someone decided to make them NAB. They ARE an author, at least for GR purposes.
