Hi George,

William Mann the writer on music has 3 blocks of books assigned to him; They 
not only need merging but a weeding out of other authors of the same name. 
It will be a major task and one I'll not attempt..

So glad you have merged some of my targets. I find the instructions 
complicated and far be it from me, a newbie, to complain but surely a 
simpler way should be worked out??

I shall stick to adding book contents and other facts. I've enough here to 
go through to keep me busy for a long time.

When I tried to edit an author, up came a page saying Access denied or 
somesuch, but I'm sure I was allowed to do it a few days ago. I had another 
look just now, and I'm allowed in, so maybe I was trying to get into the 
page at the same time as you had it open.

Thanks for your comments.

Alan.
