Before I bring myself into a mess I´d rather ask for help in this (:

I would like to add two e-chap books which can be downloaded as PDF but do not have an ASIN or any other additional info available. These exist only online.

I have found one similar book by the same publisher

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

but this author is already a Goodreads author while the two I want to add are not. (if these matters or not I do not know) or if it is against policy since they exist only online as a PDF and might not be considered "real" books.

If you look up http://www.sundresspublications.com/

you will find them under "e-chap". I would like to add them later to my shelves since I have already downloaded them (:

1) Hush by Jan LaPerle

and

2) Isla by Charity Stebbins

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Yes, those would seem to be books! Go ahead and add them. You don't need an ISBN or ASIN if the book doesn't have one. (Or, do you want a librarian to add them?)

Thanks for the answer Cait.

I can add them myself manually, these I know by now and I dont see any problem. I have also the covers at hand already (:

These are the two entries I have created, with all the info I have found on the website of the publisher

Hmpf not quite, I forgot the description so now I really need a librarian to add them, Sorry :(

Jan LaPerle's strange tales venture deeper than one might expect. There are plenty of laughs--a woman pregnant with a dishwasher? a man who buys a new head each year?--yet beneath the surface humor is a swift current of love, home, and the need for human connection. Escape is impossible once you're caught in Hush. But then again, you won't want to." -T.A. Noonan, Sundress Publications Chapbook Contest Judge and Author of The Bone Folders

Hush was one of two runners-up for the 2011 Sundress chapbook contest.

and

"Beginning and ending with dreams—first 'of milkfish and of becoming a doctor' and finally of 'an exoskeleton' left by a 'parrot...bounded into the air'—Stebbins guides the reader on a tour of the Philippine Islands. Yet this is no mere sightseer's catalog; Isla is as much meditation as it is documentary. Stebbins has (re)created a landscape that wavers between the exotic and familiar, drawing you in until you, too, are haunted by the distant afterimage of water."
-T.A. Noonan, Sundress Publications Chapbook Contest Judge and Author of The Bone Folders

Isla is the first-ever winner of the Sundress chapbook contest.

Siiri,

The descriptions have been added. :)

Thank you Monique (:

And one more, on the Kristy Bowen book the description is missing too

Kristy Bowen's new chapbook, I*HATE*YOU*JAMES*FRANCO, falls into strangeness unfolding over and over like a letter. The poems are enticing, addictive, and strangely beautiful, and the collection itself is brilliantly constructed, bringing to life all the things you think but never say. Before you know it, you'll be watching 127 Hours rooting for the rock.

You're welcome and this one has been added now as well.

Thank you again and sorry for the unnecessary extra-work. I should have been more careful when creating the books.

But at least I know I can add the chapbooks if they are not in the database. I love them (:
