Mark Desrosiers | 4 comments Hello, the following is not an actual book, but I was unable to delete it. The message I received was "only super-librarians can delete books with so many reviews", yet there are zero reviews of this title. Please take a look and see if any problems can be sorted out:

In this context, "review" included users having shelved it.

Why do you think this is a "non-book"?

KyBunnies | 35 comments When looking this up on Amazon.com this is an actual book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0965...

I am like rivka what about this is not a book?

WorldCat has a listing for it as well. It's a tête-bêche -- two books bound back-to-back and sold as a single volume. Like the old Ace Doubles.

Mark Desrosiers | 4 comments Here's where I discovered the problem:

If the tête-bêche does exist (!!) then the book should certainly remain, but the quote needs to be edited to reflect 'Lucky Jim', not the combined edition. I couldn't find an easy way to edit the quote source -- please advise on that.

You have to go to the quote's edit page. There's a dropdown of books by the author there, and I switched it there.

Mark Desrosiers | 4 comments Thanks for fixing this, but now I have a dumb question (since the original quote link I provided above is now dead): where is the "quote's edit page"?

If you are on an individual quote's page (often accessible via "x people liked it"), you should see a small "edit" link on the top right.
