In addition to the above, I think the man who is the author of this:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

is not the same David Adam as the other two. I think there are three authors named David Adam in the one profile.

Two Trey Joneses have been merged into one profile here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Since I'm one of them, I can say that I wrote "The Speculative Grammarian Essential Guide to Linguistics", but I did not write "Get This Off My Chest". This has been split before, but seems to have been merged again.

Is there anyway to create a profile for the other Trey Jones and link his book there, and not to my profile?

Thanks!

re 7, i've moved the book in question to the other trey jones profile.

5/6 done; and judging by the way they were all imported from amazon with nearly identically formatted titles, blurbs, and covers, i think we are dealing with just two David Adams.

With regards to 5, I do think the Dr David Adam who wrote the book about OCD is different to the Reverend David Adam who wrote the religious books. Dr David Adam is a journalist who writes for science journals. I really don't think they're the same person.

From the Pan Macmillan website:

"Dr David Adam is a writer and editor at Nature, the world's top scientific journal. Before that he was a specialist correspondent on the Guardian for seven years, writing on science, medicine and the environment. During this time he was named feature writer of the year by the Association of British Science Writers, and reported from Antarctica, the Arctic, China and the depths of the Amazon jungle."

From the SPCK publishing website:

"David Adam is one of the best-loved figures in Celtic Spirituality. He also writes poetry and teaching material for churches. Living on Holy Island for thirteen years he has a special love for the saints of Iona and Lindisfarne. He now lives on land that was once given to St Cuthbert."

re 10,

ahhhhhh ok, that OCD book somehow didn't register on my brain, i got preoccupied with disambiguating all those random kindle shorts. ok, so now we have three disambiguated profiles:

the Reverend: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

the kindle shorts guy: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

the science writer: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks for fixing this :)
