Yet still, if you insist to be interested in none else than "Miller,
Henry - 1891-1980", then as of yet there are only library catalogs or
WorldCat to turn to. This ought to change, no?
Actually, you need to strike mention of WorldCat above, as it makes no use
of authorized forms of names, and doesn't even show them.
Matter of fact, you can enter
su:miller, henry, 1891-1980
as well as
au:miller, henry, 1891-1980
to get 739 and 1196, resp., titles about and (supposedly) by the "true"
H.M. and in the full title display you get to see
Related Subjects: Miller, Henry, -- 1891-1980.
(clickable even)
but in a title display of something _by_ H.M. you can click
on by _Henry Miller_ to get 6117 titles not all related to
the true one, let alone _by_ him. Some confusion indeed.
You will be richly rewarded though, when turning to
"WorldCat Identities". In the top line of the display for
H.M. 1891-1980, you find unobtrusive links to "Works about" and
"Works by" - both yielding only the "most widely held" ones.
