Could a kind librarian please add a book for me?

I just clicked in the above book image and it shows, so I must have added it (somehow). Looks like it just needs to be combined and I don't have the privs.
Actually adding a book and other issues need to go in librarians group at http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/220 ; the first author FAQ thread says preferred info. You can post there to get editions combined.That's the only group where a few hundred librarians hanging out at once = <15 minutes response unless additional data/explanation of issue needed. Plus helpful to keep all the issues in one place.
(I got the impression they rather frown on "personal" or "group" librarians versus posts in librarians group or librarians spotting and correcting items on their own; not from a simple request like "add my book" but from other experiences)
I'm a librarian :o) How can I help?

Hi Jackie. There have been a few discussions about POD services. I found this one, which has lots of info. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
Hope it helps. :o)

Thanks for the info Debbie. I didn't realise.Jud, I don't want to get you told off, but I think I just need a librarian such as yourself to click on the book image above and combine that paperback edition with the existing Kindle edition.
Okie doke. I can do that :o)
I think you've added a completely new book rather than an alternative edition of the same book... Still looking into it.

I'm surprised it created it though as it said it couldn't at the time - and there it was. If that's the case it can be deleted. It does just need the paperback edition adding and combining.
Aha! You have added it to the wrong Steve Robinson, don't you know who you are?
Huh? That's what it told me I couldn't do, which confused me. Maybe I added myself twice when I originally set myself up. Strange how it went ahead and added it anyway. I'm rubbish at this aren't I?
Linked it to you and combined the 2 editions, you're all set :o)Leave it to the professionals next time, eh?
And for future reference you are Steve__Robinson not Steve_Robinson. You have 2 spaces between your names.
Super Jud to the rescue once again!I actually work with someone called Steve Robinson and he often gets his own name wrong.

Jud, I've said it before, but I'll say it again. You're a sooper-dooper-trooper!!! Okay, I haven't actually said that before. :o) You just won a whole bag of Percy Pigs!
I think I will leave off trying to set my own things up on Goodreads. I always get it wrong. Mind you, how am I supposed to get my name right when the difference is invisible? That other guy is me anyway. I recall the confusion when I first joined and wondered where I'd gone.

I bet he doesn't have two spaces between names though.
Honestly Steve.What are you like???
I knew it would be you as soon as I saw the thread title. :)
You're adorable.
Adorable fool more like! Court jester for hire, lol.
I am a sooper-dooper-trooper, I'll be eagerly awaiting those percy pigs. Scheeeeelllllluuuuuuurp!!!!
Fantastic spelling of a sound effect there, Jud.
Positively onomatopoeic!

Don't be sad Em. :o( You could join one. :o)

Is there some rule that librarians have to join a group?

Not that I've ever seen anywhere, Karen.Certainly can't remember seeing anything about it in the librarian handbook.
I am a member of a librarian group but I never look at it.
Mind you, I also have no idea how to do any librarian stuff. ;)

Me neither. :o) Obviously.
Curiously, when went to add the book this topic is about (in this thread) it came up with an edition with the right ISBN, but I can't see any other editions when I view the book. I did change it from ASIN to ISBN earlier then changed it back, so perhaps it's go something to do with that.
Anyway... If you can help with this, that would be great. I just need the paperback edition set up and combined with the existing Kindle edition. The ISBN13 is 9781782991038. Publisher web address is http://www.feedaread.com/books/The-La...
Thank you! :o)
