Violetta | 477 comments I came across this book listing: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
as I was cleaning up Unknown Authors and went "wha..?"

The cover (which was there before) clearly shows Bram Stoker's Dracula. Seeing this I went in to edit the info and that's when I noticed that the original title was listed as "Mountain Conquest".

Now I'm no expert but that is definitely not a result of a typo, so my question is, what to do?

There is no information available to decide on what this book is or was or will be, so maybe it's worth just deleting?

I would not delete. I would use the cover and ignore the original title info (except to remove it).

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I would go with keeping Dracula, but since only one person has shelved that edition, you could PM him and ask which one he thinks it is

I would say remove it due to the lack of information and inactivity of that particular listing

Is there some place to find books that need to be "fixed"?

as I was cleaning up Unknown Authors and went "wha..?"

Is this something I missed?

She probably just stumbled across an unknown author and was cleaning it up.

I was fixing book covers and came across editions that were listed as (for example) Unknown Book 1861510 Unknown Author 100, and started fixing stuff, which led to fixing more stuff, etc etc...

For this Dracula book though, I guess I will try to PM the one person who rated it and see.

Violetta | 477 comments In a ridiculously quick response, the person who rated it said it was, in fact, Mountain Conquest. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
