It might be that you have to wait a day or so for the results to show up. A few weeks ago when I tried it out I was frustrated in much the way you were, Sarah, but when I checked the following day all seemed well. I'm a new and infrequent contributor to the Open Library, though I hope to build up. However, after I'd found success in merging an author I then tried to merge his books, which seemed to need urgent attention. It was then that I gave up (only for the time being). That's why I think work and book merges are also needed. Of course the three merges would need to cooperate, i.e., works only allowed to merge within an author, and books only allowed to merge within a work.
