Incorrect author

"Taxidermy and Zoological Collecting A Complete Handbook for the Amateur Taxidermist, Collector, Osteologist, Museum-Builder, Sportsman, and Traveller" incorrectly lists W. J. Holland as the author. It should be William T. Hornaday.

I'm not sure how to fix this.

Not a bug so closing the report. Data in LT is community based - so mistakes get fixed via various means on the work pages themselves and are not considered bugs.

In such cases you can overwrite the main author - all copies we have have the wrong one due to a source being weird (Amazon I will guess). That is one of the very limited number of cases where overwriting the primary author (in the Other Authors section) is actually the correct way to go.

Also - please include either link to the work OR a touchstone when reporting a book issue - so people do not need to look for it via search and so that we all are on the same page on which book that is :)

>2 AnnieMod: I tried, but the link to the book's title gave me "no results". If I added the correct author, wouldn't it still have the incorrect one as a co-author?

So use a link as I used above and not a touchstone :)

That is why I said "overwrite" and not add. There is a pencil icon next to the calculated name which allows you to fix this kind of issues. It is never to be used for things like sorting out initials and so on (or almost never) but when it is really really wrong, it is our only way (if you add, the wrong one remains indeed as a co-author).

PS: And as there had been more combining later, that was not even needed as the combination would have cleared things.
