Death the High Cost of Living appears twice on Neil Gaiman's list of books, but it's the same URL and same book (identical #s of reviews and editions and all) for both. How is this fixed?

Usually that happens when the primary author winds up in a secondary author slot on one of the editions -- yup, that's what happened here. I shifted Gaiman up to the primary author slot on the edition where he was secondary and it seems to be correct now, yes?
We have a similar issue for The Kin by Peter Dickinson - please combine them. Thank you.
Cheryl, I combined two editions of The Kin - but am not sure if the ones you are referring to. See if they have been combined - and if not - include a link with your request and that way we'll be sure to fix the issue you are referring to.

Hmm... I see these look like the same book - but one is on my currently reading shelf, and one is on my read shelf. I have read it, and I want to save my review of it. I also want it off my currently reading shelf. I'm sorry to be troublesome, but if you can please help!
Cheryl, it looks like your review is attached to this edition, while you have this edition listed on your currently-reading shelf. If you only want the one edition, you can remove the currently-reading edition from your personal shelves and the other one will remain.
It worked, thank you! I have so much admiration for you librarians - I know I wouldn't have the patience, even though I'm sure I'm supposedly smart enough to do the job....
