Becky (beckyofthe19and9) The author's name is different: Agop J. Hacikyan vs. Agop Hacikyan, that's why it's not showing up in the combine options.

You'll need to correct one of the profiles to the correct name and then combine.

I'm not sure what that should be, so I'm not going to make any changes. :)

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Done...I did it by...::pause:: ::whisper:: MAGIC.

:)

I corrected it by changing the name without the initial, to the version *with* the initial, since worldcat uses the initial. GR then asks if you want to merge the profiles...since all books on both belong to the same author, I said yes, and merged them.

Then, (actually, I think this might be magic)...I clicked on "combine," and "auto-combine." :) You can also check the ones you want to combine, and hit the "combine" button, instead of auto-combining.

(Wasn't "magic" an easier answer?)

B.

Done.

Please don't add information other than title and series to the title line of a book. It's confusing to users -- and to the search function.
