Re: [CatSIG] Query on name authority

Yes, I can confirm that Philip Holden who writes on New Zealand hunting has also written westerns under the pseudonyms Lee Chandler, Cord McAllister and Lee Holden. He was born in 1937.

"Chris Roberts" 13/11/2008 3:51 p.m. >>> Hi everybody

I am trying to unpick some headings for the author/s Philip Holden, who on our merged catalogue has headings under no dates, 1937- and 1938-. On doing searches on LC Authorities and looking at the authority records we already have in place, I am beginning to feel a little confused, as the notes that have been added are a little ambiguous. Is anyone able to confirm to me that the Philip Holden who writes on NZ hunting also has written westerns under three known pseudonyms? I am reasonably sure I can eliminate the confusion between the 1938 and 1937 entries - they do appear to be the same person - because one has mention of a date incorrectly printed on a book jacket. Is this also 'our' NZ Philip Holden, the hunter, and has he also written titles on hunting in Australia? I started to do some searching on the net but got bogged down with entries from libraries and bookshops that didn't actually give me the information I need and figured there are quicker ways to do this.
