Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I came upon a book titles Sarah's Key just now and the author is a GR author by the name of Tatiana de Rosnay. When the search for the book is performed two listings come up, one with her name like I typed above and the other with her named like this:
--de Rosnay, Tatiana--
Normally I would change the second "name" to make it like the first and then combine the books but since she's a GR author I can't do that.
Do we just leave that type of thing or message the author and ask her to fix it?
The first listing-

The second listing-

And the search page-

Thanks!

The way you said you would normally do it can still be used when it's a GR author. You just can't edit the name of an GR author, but you can change the author on a book to a GR author.
