How about a sequence of books, that were rolled up into a sequence of collections, then the book covers where changed, then the author changed her name, then the sequence of collections were rolled up into a single collection?
Try to figure out what to buy that you don't already have from that mess!
e.g., "The Feral Sentence" by G. C. Julien. Oops, I mean by Shade Owens these days. You can even search Amazon for books by G. C. Julien (do not mention any book name, just the author name) and you will get results for author Shade Owens. Same books. You can Google "goodreads G. C. Julien" and then Google "goodreads Shade Owens" and find all the same books, just with different covers and a different author name. So Goodreads is tracking both author names. But Amazon appears to have done a wipe-and-replace of G. C. Julien with Shade Owens. I imagine these books are pretty bad (I haven't read any of them yet). The only reason I have a few are because they were free on Amazon at one time. I occasionally look back at partial series I have purchased to see if I want to complete the series. It was during one of those reviews of my library that I noticed the Julien/Owens scam.
