McCarthy's "The road" is currently showing as a book I own, whereas I only have his "Blood meridian". I went to his combining page, but, except for one Polish Blood meridian (which I separated out), I don't see any other BMs mixed in with "The road".

Anyone else?

(And... why are Murakami's "After dark" and Casanova's autobio offered as combining options for "The road"?!)

Separations don't seem to take now. I saw a couple Spanish "No country for old men" mixed up with the Road, but I couldn't get them out.

And, "The road" is showing the cover for "Blood meridian".

Well, later...

The work above appears to only have 'The Road' in it. It has 'The Road' as canonical title. But it shows the title 'Bloody Meridian'.

Sorry it had the book number at the end.

The works themselves look OK in English. LolaWalser is on the list of members for Bloody Meridian, and her book in her catalog connects with the right work.

It looks to me like it got straightened out.

I have a similar kind of issue. In my "Work Multiples" page, 'The Road', 'No Country for Old Men' and 'Blood Meridian' are shown as a work multiple, when they certainly (and I would have thought obviously) are not. I have all three books - but they are distinct!

There was a major problem with all three books being combined together. They were separated again on Jan 1st, but there could still be a legacy in the caches.

Looks like this may be straighted out now as the only issue I see on your "duplicates" page is the Volume 1 and Volume 2 of The Brothers Karamozov are combined - working on it now.
