Hi,

These books are different editions of the same book. Can you please combine them ?

In order to be combined the primary author of the works must be identical.

In this case the works are assigned to:
■work/editions/1250425 ( editions): Andrew Chapman
■work/editions/74692524 (1 edition): Steve Jackson
■work/editions/119781530 (1 edition): Jonathan Green
although the name of Steve Jackson appears on the various cover images.

The real author of the book is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
, but it is sometimes published under the name Steve Jackson (and Ian Livingstone) as they are the main writers of the series "Fighting Fantasies" and it is considered, especially in France, as more attractive to potential buyers/readers.

On the second case, the spanish version is mentioned as "presentado por Steve Jackson y Ian Livingstone", they are master of the collection and introducing/presenting the books but they are not the writer.

Hi. I move this request in the SuperLibrarians request because it seems that there is a first thing to fix before merging the different editions of the same book mentioned here.

Two of the editions has been attributed to a wrong author (one being master of collection but not the one who write this specific book).

Can someone please attribute
■work/editions/74692524 (1 edition)
■work/editions/119781530 (1 edition)
to the right author Andrew Chapman

before the three different work/editions get merged ?

Changing the author does not require a superlibrarian.
Having said that, this is a two-minute job so I went ahead and combined the editions.

OK, I move that request back to the original thread for librarians

Thank you
