Hello, everyone. I have recently edited/ghost-written parts of two self-published autobiographical volumes by an author w/ connections to the Beatles and Jim Morrison who went to press without adding ISBN numbers. Eventually, all of the books will have ISBN numbers, but copies of the first run of these three, plus a fourth volume, all available at www.irememberjimmorrison.com are currently without. is there a way to list these books on Goodreads without ISBN numbers? Thanks. Zack

It's three books total, but Goodreads won't seem to allow any editing here.
Since every book published pre 1968 (and much later in some countries), as well as every Kindle book are missing ISBNs, GR is quite accommodating in that respect. Add them with as much info as you have and post back in this group if you run into any trouble.

The simplest way is to search for the book by name and author (which double checks that they're not already here). The resulting probably empty search results has a link right at the top on the right that says "Manually add a book". Click that and fill out as much of the info as you can. (While you're adding it, don't miss that you can add a cover at the same time, again top right of the add a new book form - it's easily overlooked).Repeat for all three, and you're done.
