_The Children's Shakespeare_ by E. Nesbit NESBIT, Rolf Klep, & Edith Nesbit

[Joy H.]

I am trying to locate the following EXACT book at Goodreads. See it at the following Amazon page:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/089733485X/r...

_The Children's Shakespeare_
by E. Nesbit NESBIT (Author), Rolf Klep (Author), Edith Nesbit (Author)

Can you help me? I've searched Goodreads but cannot find it. I want to refer to it in a post at my group.

Children's Shakespeare

If you search with the ISBN number it pops up. I used the 13 digit one from your link.

[Joy H.]

Calila, it doesn't come up when I try to use the "add book/author" link when I'm posting at my group. Could the problem be that the word "The" is missing from the one you linked above?

Have you tried the "add book/author" link?

The Children's Shakespeare

I've added "The" to the title, which didn't influence the "add book/author".
I've used the "add book/author" to add the book to this post.
Make sure to fill the isbn in the search field.

yes, that's how I searched, just use the ISBN not the title

It still doesn't come up when I use the "add book/author" feature.

Did you use the ISBN in the add book/author feature?

[Joy H.]

If I use the ISBN # in the "add book/author" feature it works. BUT that doesn't help when a reader knows only the title and author. I've never needed the ISBN # for the "add book/author" feature before.

When there are changes to a record, it takes time for it to be indexed. We thought you wanted to add the book to a post, so we were helping you do so.

EDIT: If you continue to have problems with this specific title, you should contact support. Librarians can't help you.

[Joy H.]

What is the link to Goodreads support?

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

On the help page is a "contact us" link or you can email them at the address support at goodreads dot com.

Thank you.

Would other members have this same problem with this specific book or is the problem specific to me only?

At the moment the 'search' and 'add book/author' features do not work for this particular book when searching by title and/or author, because there were recent edits. This is normal and is usually resolved within a day or so.

The only thing that works at the moment is the ISBN, but since you wanted to refer to it in a post, that shouldn't be a problem. The readers can click on the link and find the book, they don't have to use the 'add book/author' feature themselves.

ETA Actually, a title/author search will always come up with the most shelved/rated edition. In this case, it's this one (note the different, original, title): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

In the add book/author screen you will see that edition with a link in green under the Add button: 'other editions'. If you click on that, you'll see your edition on the first page.

[Joy H.]

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

This book comes up as

Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare for Children because that is the default edition. All searches return the default edition unless you search by ISBN. If your title and the Beautiful Stories are actually entirely different books, they should be separated. A librarian can definitely help with that.

EDIT: Looking at WorldCat and the included titles, it appears they are different. I will separate them and leave a librarian note not to combine.

[Joy H.]

Thank you.

The Children's Shakespeare now comes up as the 4th result on the add book/author page. I did have to add the author's last name for the search, which is often the case on GR search.

[Joy H.]

Thank you for all your help!
The Children's Shakespeare
Yes, it came up as the 4th result! Hurray!
Thanks again.
