Marie Silk | 611 comments I have tried to use the giveaway feature, but it is not working for me. It says "book id invalid" when I click save. I have tried the 13 isbn and the 10 isbn on different attempts (not both at the same time), without dashes or as the instructions say. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Marie Silk | 611 comments Thank you. I did not realize I needed to add the paperback edition. I have just added it and will wait for it to update, then try again. Thank you so much! No more pulling out my hair over this one! Just pulling out my hair over everything else :D

G.G. (ggatcheson) | 2491 comments Goodreads giveaways are only for paperback/hard covers. So when you try to enter an eBook version it flags it wrong.

Don't pull your hair. Believe me you don't want to have to wear a wig. :P

Marie Silk | 611 comments Thanks again. You are right, I must channel this frustration some other way :)
