I am not sure this is the right place, but did not find any better. I would like to ask what is the correct procedure (better yet ask somebody with more experience to do it) to combine two works in LT.

1. This work (http://www.librarything.com/work/362298) has the author's name correctly but the title incorrectly.

2.This work (http://www.librarything.com/work/1665667 ) has the title correctly, but the author's first name is missing the ending "h".

The two books are the same. How can we make it appear as one in LT?

They're already combined -- I'm not sure if someone got there before I saw this, or if they were combined all along.

Thank you, whoever did it. Although the title is still wrong. You can see on the book cover that it is "The Real Messiah?" and not "Real Messiah"

If you really mind, you could force a correction by entering the correct title as canonical in common knowledge

Thanks for the tip. I just did. (I also checked worldcat.org and they have it the way I recommended it too.)

FYI: I really mind, because the "?" makes a big difference in the meaning, IMHO.

Yes, I can see that. For a moment I thought your problem was the word "the".
