Liralen | 8218 comments The page for Notion Press has roughly 8,600 books, many (most?) of which have been imported with the publisher's name in place of an author's name. It's pretty straightforward (check the cover, add the author), but 288 pages of books that need to be manually updated is not a small amount of work!

I'll continue to work on it, but anyone else is welcome to dive in and correct a book or two...or twenty...or two hundred...at a time.

it is still 269 pages of work here, if anyone is willing to help

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 9174 comments Done a few of these. Not only adding the author but adding description and the correct page count instead of the cost in Rupees in the page count box. The Bot really did a stellar job importing these 🙄

Scott | 8696 comments Not only that, but if you look at the edit log for the "author", they are changing titles to add the publisher in the title field.

I have flagged it to support, but I don't expect anything to be done. I am pretty sure they hate us.

It does seem like it much of the time.
