Sandra | 31397 comments This sort of edit belongs in the Book & Author Page Issues folder.

Corrected by someone as Sylvan Clarke 2 is not a valid author name.

Separating authors with the same name:

Occasionally you may come across an author profile that encompasses two or more authors of the same name. In order to separate these authors and their respective books you will need to identify which books belong to which author. Once you have, leave one author alone and for the second, go into the edit page of each of their books and add an additional space between their first and last name.

This will create a new author profile for the second author.

If by chance there is a third author of the same name (which has happened), simply add a third space between the author's first and last name.)

Tawnya | 4028 comments I corrected the titles to your books. GRs does not change titles or delete books simply because they are out of print.

The system can take a few days before the "about" are updates. It is rarely instantaneous.
