Leani (levikha) | 6 comments (Librarian) While combining editions for Sarah Wilson, I saw that Tess of the D'Urbervilles is listed as one of her books. I assume that one of the 839 editions has an editor by the same name, so I'd like to separate authors (Sarah^^^Wilson). However, I have no idea how to determine which edition it is. I've tried:
*searching "Sarah Wilson Tess of the D'Urbervilles", which just gives me the most popular edition (no Sarah co-author).
*looking at all Sarah Wilson's books, which lists no Tess.

Both of these would usually yield me the desired results, so I'm not sure why Tess is showing up amongst Sarah Wilson's books. Does anyone with more experience than me know what's going on here and/or have the ability to fix it?

Arenda | 26452 comments Go to the "all editions page" for "Tess of the D'Urbervilles": https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Set the number of books per page (bottom of the page) to 100. Make sure the details are expanded (top of the page: "collapse details"/"expand details").
Use Ctrl-F to search for Sarah.

It turned out there were three VHS Video editions with the same title (two of which were incorrectly listed as hardcover) that had Sarah Wilson as primary author.
Separated these three and NAB'ed them (Not-a-book) as they should not be on GR.
