Default Should I publish a book about Bridge?

You are correct that the Amazon page is wrong. The author is Kenneth
Harkness. Charles Goren only wrote the introduction. I do not know why
this mistake was made or how to correct it.

The bad news is that because of that error, a search on Anazon for the
Harkness book returns the original, not the new edition. The good
news is that instead of eleven copies starting at 70 cents, they are
down to ten.

Whenever a new book is listed on Amazon it always takes a few days
before it comes up in the search engines. Try again in a few days.

There will always be a few buyers who prefer to buy a new book for
$19.95 rather than a used book for 70 cents. (Me, I always buy the 70
cent variety, which is the reason why I have stacks of books piled all
around my desk.)

It does bother me that the listing on Amazon shows Charles Goren as
the author. I hope that this is corrected soon.

My book is not entirely a reprint. I also include a biography and a
photograph of Kenneth Harkness which are not in the original book.
