jenjn79 | 564 comments I've been working on author Fern Michaels (which is a ridiculous mess because Amazon saw fit to list her as the author for like 30 books written by other authors with the last name Michaels) and I've come across this book and I'm not sure what to do about it. The author doesn't list it as one of her books, neither does fictiondb. Google gets a couple results, but as far as I can tell, this book doesn't exist. Yet Amazon is still listing it. So I can't delete it because it will just come back. Do I NOT A BOOK it? Or just leave it alone?

The "Untitled"s I would Not-a-Book. But Naked Spectrums . . . well, it's hard to prove a negative. Maybe it's a real book that ended up published under another name? Maybe there's another Fern Michaels? Yeah, I dunno, but I'm still inclined to leave it be.

jenjn79 | 564 comments I will NOT A BOOK the three untitleds. As for the other...I lean toward NOT A BOOKing it. I've looked it up various different ways including a basic Google search for "naked spectrums" + "fern michaels", checked the different "find at" links and it doesn't seem like any book under that ISBN or name was every actually published. The only refs I find of it seem to draw from the original Amazon entry.
