Bruce Stark | 2 comments This exists in Goodreads, but only a search on the ISBN gives a result. Searching on title or author comes up with “no results found.”

Can this be fixed so searches on title and author have a result?

Z-squared | 8575 comments There was a bug related to this not so long ago, and resaving the record seemed to fix it. Regardless, when I type "Black Sheep in Tokyo" into the search field, this book comes up just fine.

FYI, if you'd like, you can claim your Goodreads author profile here:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Just scroll down to the bottom and click on "Is this you? Let us know."

Also, there are a few other books on Goodreads under the same author name here:

Are any of those also yours? If so, I can move them to your profile.

Bruce Stark | 2 comments Thanks so much, Z-squared! The problem is apparently fixed.

Auto Mag the Pasadena Days is mine. Please do move it to my profile. The other two books are not mine.
