Dobby (dobby0390) | 7966 comments This author profile has been badly corrupted and is a tangled mess: Paul Summers

I ran into this profile when I was NABbing some blank journals. The profile contains entries marked "Not a book" where the "NOT A BOOK" author name had been changed to Paul Summers.
Example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

In fixing those, I found other books that clearly belong to other authors, not Paul Summers.
Example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/City-Falling-A...

and

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
WorldCat link: http://www.worldcat.org/title/ultimat...

It looks like each listing needs to be researched. I started on it, but this is going to be a huge project. The book list shows 1,274 distinct works. Some of them legitimately belong to Paul Summers. Many of them don't.

lethe | 16377 comments That second item (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) is a display, so should be changed back to NOT A BOOK as well.
