I won an early readers' copy of "What Seems True" by James Garrison.
I went and "manually" added it to my tbr, but when I looked at my Early Readers' page, it was as if I hadn't added it. Discovered the book is there twice, but not connected in any way I can find. Both copies have the same author('s name) with a link to the author, but they are in there separately.
How can I combine these?
Thanks.

A search only brings up one of them, but when I add it to my library, there are two (I didn't notice that earlier). I don't see a(n obvious) way to combine them from there, though.

>1 LibraryCin: You can either combine them on the author page or with the workbench. See https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Book_combining for instructions.

>3 amanda4242: They aren't both coming up on the same author page (separate author pages for the same author and book!). I checked that. :-(
I'll check your instructions, though. I don't know what the "workbench" is, so maybe I'll learn something.

Oooooh, that workbench is handy! Thank you!

Well it did work (I think), but it "got rid of" the wrong author.
Now, it's only stuck to the author with no other books and no photo. Whereas the author with the photo and (I think) two (?) other books is not the author attached here.

Here is the book now:
https://www.librarything.com/work/26666226
And it is currently attached to this author:
https://www.librarything.com/author/garrrisonjames
And here is the correct author (arrived here via Early Reviewers and you can see that this book is no longer attached to this author):
https://www.librarything.com/author/garrisonjames
So, how do I get it attached to the correct author now? I looked for a workbench option on the author pages, but didn't see one.

I just tried adding the author (again), but it just added the same one.
ETA: I think I got it. Under
Improve this author, there was:
Combine with…
No authors suggested.
Although there were no authors suggested, I was able to do a search to find it. I hope it's fixed! Thank you, again.

So I learned a couple of things today!

You can edit the author in your entry to get rid of the extra 'r'.
The real issue is a misspelling on the Amazon site which I have tried to report.
I have corrected the author on the work page.

>10 MarthaJeanne: Thank you for this extra info! I hadn't noticed the spelling difference.
