Could one of you super librarians correct W, J. May's name on Courage Runs Red. Courage Runs Red I attempted to correct it to W. J. May, but for some reason it won't take. (I must not have correct super powers)

Thanks

Done, but to W.J. May. Not supposed to have spaces between initials.

Thanks!

I went to combine editions of a title by Lynn B. Davidson but as I did so the other edition did not show up. I checked the details and found that the author's name has two spaces after her middle initial. Can someone fix this so that future works are added to the correct author?

I didn't know if I needed to start a new thread for this since this is the same sort of issue.

#4 - That is the way the GR Author has it set up, which is not a bad idea, because that means if another Lynn B. Davidson writes books, all that Author's books would not be added to this Author's account, where if it only had one space all Author's books that get auto-imported with the name of Lynn B. Davidson would end up in the single space profile.

It never occurred to me that someone would do that on purpose. Thanks for the insight.
