Same book, but it won't combine, please help!

The authors names have to be exactly identical in order to combine.
Combined the authors, and combined the books. It's fixed now.
Thank you! Was one Dr. Fossum's name spelled wrong on one of them? I guess I hadn't realized. -Greg Hoyt

Actually, they have different ISBNs.

No, that single book didn't include the doctor's middle name which GR mostly recognized her as so.

The only difference is that you pay an extra $100 when you purchase one of them, and they slide a page with a special scratch off number that you type in on the publisher website to be able to consult with veterinarians if you have any questions. You can pay for that service at anytime and it really has nothing to do with the book. The books are not different in any way. Same ISBN number and cover and everything. It is just a marketing gimmick for the publisher to make more money, sure it's nice to be able to ask questions, but it has nothing to do with the Author's work and is not part of the book or a different book in anyways. Therefore, the books should definitely be combined, I personally think the "Consult" part should just be removed, but it appears that some members seem to like to list it, so at the very least they should be combined. Or, you can just list "Consult Service" as a separate book, but it is not a book.
Please advise. I was unable to get both books by the same author to show up on the combine page together, it would not even allow me to attempt too, but I know that it needs to be! Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Greg Hoyt
