Could you merge these two profiles, thanks http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/61...

In that case, the author needs to claim her author profile.

Thanks - what exactly does it mean, what is the procedure, what does she has to do %)
er, yeshttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
On the book his name is: "Tom, the twenty-first century radical" (needs editing)
official website: http://lessgovernmentlesstaxes.com/
real name: Thomas D. Darby
odd apostropheOn the book cover the name seems to be "Reneé" with the squiggle (is it an acute?) ABOVE the last e, but is repeated in GR author page blurb as FOLLOWING the last e.

The book

I've replaced the cover with one that shows the squiggle a bit better.
EDIT:
her website was not available

Sounds a bit odd, but I think this one needs a dot after the 8 (the eight)http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Her book and her website both consistently have "Jennifer 8. Lee"

he seems to have another pen name. If you want to merge it as well

his website talks about both sets of books

the book only has "R.D. Thomas" and most sites also use the shorter version
The mergee above has the shorter version
all lowercasehttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
the name on the book is "pedro xaguar" in lowercase

Thank you!
I found an empty duplicate profile of a GR author:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
The GR author:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
See this thread:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
Author writes as A.J. Gallant, but his GR's profile is Albert Gallant. I put them all on 1 profile, but should his profile match the books?
missing dot and ...http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
the name on his book is "Ryan Harron"
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
The relevant publisher page:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/ryan-harron/...
paperbackswap:
http://www.paperbackswap.com/Synthesi...
I added the cover first then spotted the name difference. All the covers that I could find are the same and every one has the same blurb. His website "has been deleted and purged" which sounds pretty final. The book changelog shows user "Ryan H" adding "ryanharron" as the Lulu page.
All looks legit except the GR author doesn't match his book and if you search for synthesis you get 3517 entries. I did NOT try to find his book in the list.

When I first noticed this one yesterday there were a LOT more books listed under the first mergee. I'm assuming that a librarian has been changing the author on the books.
