Description doesn't match the author or book

[Ellen]

As I read through the description of this book, I saw that it isn't discussing the book by Samuel Beckett, but rather a book by a different author. What do you think?

I have a sneaky suspicion that the two books share an ISBN.

I'm hoping that's not the case, because I've no idea what to do about that! :o(

In that case, we would manually add the other book without an ISBN. I can't find any data that supports that idea, however, so I'm going to just fix the info for Beckett. Lacking better data, I'm using the Wikipedia entry.

The error seems to come from Amazon.

I didn't know that we could just use information about authors from Wikipedia. That's great. That's what I'll do if I run into other situations like this one. Thanks so much!

Wikipedia allows for that, as long as you properly attribute the source. (I.e., list "Source: Wikipedia" after the info.)

Right. Thanks, Rivka!
