But should there be spaces in "I D G"? Seems like should be either "IDG" or "I.D.G."

Like possibly one or more of these authors are actually the same?

I've serched over internet and first i thought it's IDG, but I found editions with same ISBN and it;s I D G, like here:
http://www.amazon.com/IDG-Dummies-Pro...
or here
http://www.a1webstores.com/idg-dummie...
here:
http://www.bookdepository.com/IDG-Dum...

I think it should stay like this. Maybe in future someone who have real copy of this book can fix it :)

Other than amazon, can't really use bookseller links as data sources but the titles showing on those do all say "IDG" with no spaces and every IDG book I personally own shows no spaces. IDG publishes a lot of books so the one odd author on amazon (author search at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_... ) to only have two books is extremely suspicious as if someone made a typo when entering author name; here's an enlarged logo from one of my books:

#60, merged them all to IDG Worldwide

Hmmm yeah... maybe there was misspell, and it spreaded through other sites. Anyway I changed it for IDG, so it's finished now

and

#28 finished :D

Cool, IDG's InfoWorld and other magazines, the Dummies line and Teach Yourself line of books definitely all showed no spaces (even PBS thinks no spaces http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2009/04...) so I'm very sure that's accurate, assuming that one isbn is really a book versus promotional materials/display for a book and that goodreads does not require periods for "International Data Group" type of abbreviation. Probably with the high volume of books best to leave it matching book cover (even though in most cases is publisher or reprint rather than actual author) as that's how members are likely to add.

Yeah. Anyway If we're wrong somehow .... owner of such book can ask for fixing it :D
