Work non-duplicates

Hi

I have two different books by the same author which turn up on my work duplicates list.
Is there a way I can mark them as non-duplicates? I can't see any sort of unlink function but may be missing something obvious.

Could you provide a link to the books causing the issue so we can take a look?

Most obvious guess is that two books have been combined incorrectly, and need to be separated into distinct works. See https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Book_combining

Both by Hesse, both published in the same format, but different books.

Thanks

These are now fixed. The first link is no longer valid. (At least two of us worked on this.)

Another time, note the box on the main page. At the bottom it will tell you what work your copy is combined into. If that is wrong, you can go to the editions page (left menu) and find the 'edition(s)' that don't fit. Click on separate to unlink them. Often it then makes sense to figure out where the book really belongs and combine it into that work.
