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.
