I think this book is a VHS tape set -- what to do?

GR have a plan to deal with these now that Amazon will no longer import them.
I looked in the librarian manual -- it's only necessary to change the author to NOT A BOOK. The title remains unchanged.

True, but it's useful to change it too. For instance, if there is both a movie and a book with the same title, it avoids confusion and makes finding the book easier.
But, if I change the title to "NOT A BOOK" then the title info is gone, and we'd have all sorts of books titled and authored by "NOT A BOOK." This "book" in particular is a video cooking series, and people shelved it as a book. So, it's not a film adaptation.

Books with the author NOT A BOOK do not come up as search results. I have been against wiping out the title info from the creation of the NOT A BOOK "author", and still am.

Both WorldCat (and amazon) show this to be a video series. What do I do about it?
