Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star

Problem #1: Three separate authors (a misspelling and a "last, first"). That leads to problem #2, which is that they couldn't be combined. And you can only transfer a rating/review to another edition when they ARE combined.
All fixed now.
(Looks like you were the one who created the "last, first" author, BTW. Please always enter authors as "first last", and only create new books if you have checked by ISBN that your book is not in the database.)

Thanks

Rivka, Re message #53:
Sorry for my error. I still can't wrap my head around the logic of a first/last author entry as it's counter to all my training. I was also a relative Goodreads newbie at the time so hopefully will make fewer goofs in future, although increasingly I find old age to blame for the occasional lapse.
Sandra, authors appear last, first in many spots, but are always entered first last -- and you're not the only one who finds this confusing! :)

need to be combined. I've tried doing it 5 different ways by now but can't get it to work because (I think) of the author order info. Perhaps someone else can take a look at it and fix it for me please?
Thank you!

The 1st Author listed must be the same on each edition to combine, and we use the order on the cover. There were actually 3 editions.

Thank you very very much! Now I know how to do it in the future! <3

And (when) can I combine books self, without your help?
