Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Loon Summer is written by Barbara Santucci and illustrated by Andrea Shine. No Williamses as far as eye can see...

It's the same book as
Loon Summer
Loon Summer
Loon Summer by Santucci, Barbara (2010) Paperback
(Loon Summer ) Author: Barbara Santucci Aug-2010
Loon Summer

Also, you could kindly combine also
Abby's Chairs
and

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments The Masques of Amen House is a fascinating little thing. It's three plays or "masques" written by Charles Williams - the one who wrote Descent into Hell and All Hallows' Eve.
This book has also an introduction by Bernadette Lynn Bosky and it's edited and annotated by David Bratman (Editor).

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Wisdom of the Sand: Philosophy and Frank Herbert's Dune is written by Kevin Williams

BTW, this doesn't look right. I assume all those authors should have - and have - their own page.
Kevin Williams; Michael Brundage; Michael Brundage; Patrick Dengler; Jeff Gabriel; Andy Hoskinson; M
they are mentioned as having written Professional XML Databases by Kevin Williams, which actually is already on Goodread as Professional XML Databases. All the 10 authors seem to be correctly noted.

Kevin Williamsz seems to be the "author" of three lined notebooks, without any text that would make them proper items for GoodReads.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments The Toughest of Them All is written by Grant Harding and David Williams
The subtitle is New Zealand and South Africa: The Struggle for Rugby Supremacy.
I don't know if these guys have a GoodReads author page, as far as I know Grant Harding is written as the author of only this book, and David Williams might be this David Williams

The cover is on Amazon

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Working with Street Children: An Approach Explored is written by Andrew Williams, but not this Andrew Williams. As far as I can see, this is his only book.

The publisher's homepage says this:
"Andrew Williams has twenty years experience of direct work with children and young people. he is co-founder, former CEO and President Emeritus of Tetak, an organisation widely respected for its work amongst street children in Africa. Andrew was born in Uganda, studied at Edinburgh University and for an MSc in Applied Social Studies at Oxford University before qualifying as a probation officer."

It's the same book as
Working with Street Children: An Approach Explored by Andrew Williams
and it would be really nice, if you combined them, and transferred them to the correct author page <3

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Security Intelligence Services in New Democracies: The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania
Security Intelligence Services in New Democracies: The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania
is written by Kieran Williams and Dennis Deletant

Dennis Deletant;Yvonne Alexandrescu doesn't exist. I assume they are here because they wrote Teach Yourself Romanian Complete Course (Book + 2cds) (Teach Yourself Language Complete Courses) by Alexandrescu, Yvonne, Deletant, Dennis, Deletant Dennis published by McGraw-Hill

K. Williams did not write this book.

She also did not write

Simulators for mariner training and licensing phase 3, task C : performance standards for master level simulator training / K. Williams ... et al. . 1982 Leather Bound ,

Nurse Training in Caernarfon and Anglesey Hospital 1937-1949 (that one is written by Katherine Williams (Author), Patricia Daniel (Editor)),

Fun with Figures: Is It Maths or Magic? - that one is by Kenneth Williams

that one is written by Kathleen Williams

Writing Reports
That's by Kate Williams, from Oxford Brookes University Library. She is not any Kate Williams you have as your authors, as fas as I can see.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Great Western Branch Line Modelling: Prototype Layouts, Track and Signalling Pt. 1 Paperback is written by Stephen Williams

I find it fascinating that Pts 2 and 3 are credited to the right Williams, though there's a second Pt 3 credited to WILLIAMS S. (Who doesn't exist, as you can see.)(Though there are several Stephen Williamses who write books, the one writing about model railroads is not the one who writes about history and archaeology nor the one who writes thrillers... I'm not going to look into that now.)

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Cicero's Letters to His Friends are, of course, written by Marcus Tullius Cicero, and translated by W. Glynn Williams and M. Cary

That is book III of the letters, and is the same copy as this one:
Letters to His Friends

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments *Culture Is Ordinary is written by Raymond Williams, and it's an essay. I can't find any books with that ISBN number.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments The Little Book of Tapping: Self-Confidence: An effective tapping solution to build self-confidence through EFT is written by Stephanie Morrison, and I don't understand where the Williams came from. It's "Stephanie Morrison (BSc Math, Yoga Teacher, Dip Nutritional Therapy) is a certified Yoga Instructor and Nutritional Therapist", and this is her only book.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Quarry Bank & The Delph is written by Ned Williams

Again, there are several authors with the same name.


message 28: by Ketutar (new)

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments MY FAMILY: PAST, PRESENT ANDFUTURE: A STUDENT'SEXPLORATION OF MARRIAGE ANDTHE FAMILY

This is a total mystery. I get nothing with the name or the ISBN, not even on the Publisher's site.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments Partners in Rhyme: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry is edited by David Knox Williams

You don't have a page for him. The only David Knox Williams I can find is the actor.

"Instruction manual/Test item file"? Is this actually a real thing?

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments journal is just an empty, lined journal.

Blue Mountain Notebook: Writing, Painting, Sketching or Doodling, 120 Pages looks to be an empty journal.

Ketutar Jensen | 273 comments American Jerky Guide: Affordable, Easy & Delicious Recipes for Dried Meat, Fish, Poultry, Venison, Game and More
Whole High Protein Keto: The Complete High Protein Keto with Healthy Recipes
The New Detox Diet Plan: Cookbook and Healthy Recipes for the Beginners and Dummies
The New2021 Crepe Cookbook
Falastin: The Complete Falastin Whole Food with Healthy Recipes
are written by "Dr. Williams".

Who? I don't know. Amazon doesn't know. These were self-published cookbooks that don't seem to be available any longer. So, it's not possible to find the author. Nevertheless, it's not the half-anonymous "Williams". You might be able to create an author page for the mystical Dr. Williams until more information is found.
