For some reason the series page for "The Story of the Stone, or The Dream of the Red Chamber" shows book 5 The Dreamer Wakes twice. The author names are different (Cao Xuequin and Xueqin Cao) but both versions of the name are combined into the main author name, so I don't understand why the book appears on the list twice.

I've removed the 0-copy work from the series. http://www.librarything.com/work/113781 was there because you added it to the series; I removed the canonical name and series information and left the older disambiguation notice saying it was the first in the series. What happened to this work is somewhat problematic; when whatever rearrangement went on that left this work that has author information and a bunch of covers with none of its copies, I hope at least the information ended up on the right page.

Thanks. The disambiguation notice isn't correct though, as The Dreamer Wakes definitely the last of the five in the Penguin Classics series, not the first.

I corrected the disambiguation notice and combined the 0-copy edition with http://www.librarything.com/work/550165.

The disambiguation notice was almost certainly correct at some point, before the editions were removed and the canonical name added.

Anyway, that doesn't matter anymore; the zero-copy book is no longer on its own.
