message 1: by Stephen (new)

Stephen (havan) | 330 comments I came across a quote that had the source listed as

Renate Linnenkoper, Unknown Book 11487142
Further digging led me to this book which shows both an unknown work and an unknown author

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

among the reviews is one from the author stating that this kindle novel is no longer available.

Should the associated quotes be deleted? I'm thinking, No but am unsure how this should be cleared up. Can someone advise?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments No, the "unknown book" records are from the Big Amazon Mess a month ago; whenever possible, they should be restored to the correct title and author (and any other information that can be found), so if it isn't possible now, just leave them as they are for someone else to rescue later. It doesn't matter whether the book is out of print or not -- if the book was ever in print (or even strongly promoted as forthcoming) there should be a record for it on GR.

(I've restored this one with the information from the author's website.)
