I just uploaded a new book (Paul and the Dead Sea Scrolls, ISBN 0-8245-1000-3) and everything looks fine - but when I exit to my homepage and hover over the cover image, it comes up as "Paul and the Qumran: Studies in New Testament Exegesis". If I then click on that link, it takes me to the following page: https://www.librarything.com/work/10628520/t/Paul-and-Qumran-Studies-in-New-Test... - which is all of the correct information for the book that I want to add to my library, except that the title in the address bar is wrong. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks!

First off, this isn't a bug; it's a data issue. So I'm going to close the bug.
The question is, are these in fact different books? They are clearly very close to the same topic. When I look at the editions for Paul and Qumran: Studies in New Testament Exegesis, I find that editions are equally split between the titles "Paul and Qumran" and "Paul and the Dead Sea Scrolls," with "Paul and Qumran" apparently winning the title battle.
If you are absolutely sure they are different books, then you need to split them. But I strongly suspect that they are the same book, and what you should do is change the title of yours and select or upload the correct cover.
First step is probably to check your copy and see if it has ever been published under the other title.
If you don't know how to take the steps outlined, then you should take this to the Combiners! group. They are the experts on combining and separating books.

>1 Cobb_Institute: I did some research, and the two are the same work, just different titles between editions.

If you click Show more information, you can see they have the same content. That's why they are combined.
Your copy looks exactly as you entered it, but the popup on hover always shows the most common title and cover. In your catalogue and on the work page, you'll always see yours

>2 waltzmn: Thank you. The title and cover I uploaded are exactly the same as the physical copy that I have in my hands. The message below yours solved the problem!
