Fixed the kindle, the image link was broken.
Merged the bad edition, after combining it with the Fredric Brown editions.
The ebook is included in the kindle edition, and can't be changed by librarians and support won't do them either.
There seem to be a lot of books linked to this Jo Dixon that don't belong to the Aussie author of The House of Now and Then & A Shadow at the Door - they are the only 2 on her website.Could you check out what's going on here?

Done & done.
Last one is an amazon series crap. I'll have to refer it to the Supers to merge with Book #1.

Hello, could I please have the right author attached to this book?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The author is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Also could I please have a typo (it's small) fixed from a blurb. It's for this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It's only missing one word. Here is the blurb from Amazon:
A tough but true tale of an 18-year-old travelling through outback Australia in the late sixties
I was enjoying a joke told by Greg when Gazza tapped my arm and nodded with a grimace. I looked in the direction he was indicating to see Chalky standing with his back to us. In front of him was an angry-looking Knuckles, who was prodding the schoolteacher in the chest.
A surge of anger shot through me.
‘Who do you think you’re talking to?’ I said, pushing myself in between the two of them.
I hit him hard with a short-left jab that landed flush on his nose.
There was the briefest flicker of surprise on my adversary’s face before he punched the side of my head with a hefty round-arm swing.
‘Toughen up’ had become the catchcry for an eighteen-year-old youth travelling rough throughout the back blocks of Southern and Western Australia, but nothing could have prepared Bruce for the testosterone-driven shearing sheds of outback Queensland in 1969.
Following on from Bruce’s first memoir Catch the Wind – From The Nullarbor To The Far Northwest in 68, this new memoir records his sometimes brutal, but often hilarious travel adventures.
Meet feared shed fighter ‘Knuckles’ as he bullies his way through the shearing season with overwhelming menace and physical violence, while rouseabout car racing fiends Gaz and Bluey make the regular 50-kilometre trip to the pub a hair-raising experience. Meanwhile, the extremes of the hard work in the shearing sheds demanded a high protein diet that was as difficult to describe as it was to digest.
Bruce had left his home in Melbourne in search of an adventure and respite from a broken heart: what he found was some of the wildest characters to be found in the Australian bush during the astonishing sixties.
Join Bruce in this rowdy coming-of-age tale set against the dramatic backdrop of rural Queensland.
Thanks guys!

The edition is already in the database. I'll have to merge or get the supers to merge that other one. I must've got mixed up on this one, as I was doing quite a few things at the same time *sigh*

Done.
I take it you wanted the blurb for Out of Time instead of Catch the Wind, as that is the one you posted.

Damn, I spent more than an hour on this yesterday, didn't realise there was a third Nicki, not to mention the other 2 or 3 authors with graphic novels. Found a few more of them too. Over 5,400 editions.
Just found the Nicki hardcover & combined with the other editions on her profile. About another hour as well.
I do try, its my happy place to try to get everything correct, of course that's impossible, especially with GR how it is now.

Added a note to the description, as the rest of the internal ACE details were already done.
Please update publisher, Orion, & pages, 356https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://search.worldcat.org/title/139...
Also, I'm not sure where Trapeze comes from here, as far as I can make out it's an Orion imprint, not an Orion Trapeze imprint
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

We prefer imprints to the main publisher and Weidenfeld & Nicolson is one of the Orion imprints, as well as Trapeze.
Done the page number.

I'd bet that some editions have W&N and some Trapeze, and some others with Orion. Probably depends on the country, but they are using the same isbn.

Thanks, Sandra. That's probably it.
Please add pages, 371.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

this one is a hardback, not kindle, also 371p

I think this book, His Name was Death (2012), is very confused
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
& doesn't belong with His Name Was Walter(2018).
Could you add the ebook edition for Walter
https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781....
Is there an image for the kindle?
Thanks.
