Violetta | 477 comments I have an inkling that the CPA Exam Review books listed under Smith are actually other editions of the CPA review books published by Wiley and Sons, most of which are under Patrick R. Delaney. I've put one book there as a placeholder for now.

Got 5.

As far as #4, I'd guess most of those should be either Unknown or Various.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I cleaned up #4, there were a handful of books that had actual authors.

Everything that's left is digital sheet music of traditional songs (christmas songs, folk songs, etc) from FreeHandMusic.com - I'm guessing unknown is probably the best place for them? Or is a single song's worth of sheet music considered NAB?

If anyone decides to batch edit them, there are 132 books at the moment. There were 175 books when I went in today (up from the count Lobstergirl posted on the 17th) - so there might be new books coming in, I'd hate for something that has a real author to get lumped in with everything. :)

Bound sheet music is a book; individual sheets I don't think are.

Lobstergirl Actually those authors don't need help. They are publishing companies that aggregate public domain data from Wikipedia. It's fine for the publisher to serve as the author.

Most if not all of this author's descriptions contain inappropriate information about buying the book. Also inappropriate blurbs.

Many of this author's kindle editions have ISBN 13s.
