No No Y No by Julio Cortazar (Author), Gabriel Pachco (Illustrator)
I've changed the author name in 'author information' but still showing on right side of book page as 'No Disponible' aka 'Not available'

Not sure what to do next

Also, if you try to edit it again, it shows in the field as "disponible, no".

I'm at a loss. Not sure how to move forward on this one.

I believe this is an instance of this bug: https://www.librarything.com/topic/373623. The majority of copies in the editions have “disponible, no” as the author, so since the bug causes the manually entered author information to be ignored, the most common author name in the editions is used.

You might want to try correcting Amazon so thatif more people enter it the author is correct.

>4 Charon07: Yeah, I think it's the same issue. Closing this as a duplicate but I'll reference this report there.
