Book Disappeared on GR & Now Marked Not a Book

[Wendy]

Hello, I am about to publish an adult coloring book with Ulysses Press called Coloring Animal Mandalas. The book used to be listed on Goodreads until I either tried to claim the author profile or list a new giveaway - and then the book disappeared from the site. I tried adding it back, and got the error message that the "ISBN has been marked as 'not a book'."

Since there are several other coloring books listed on Goodreads (see https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...), I don't understand why I can't also add my book? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Wendy, it would be helpful if you include the specific link or ISBN#. :)

I got the ISBN when I wrote this and forgot to include it!

ISBN-10: 1612433502
ISBN-13: 978-1612433509

The librarian manual says

"These items are not books:" ...
"coloring books (except those for reference or which tell a story)"

The Amazon page for the book is here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coloring-Anim...

It looks to be a book of rather smart B&W line drawings but not much in the way of story/text.

Your only option is probably to contact Customer Support. Un-NABing is something that only staff can do.

Hmmm... thank you Banjomike. I see your point. I do see quite a few books like mine (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...), but I'm not sure that contacting them to ask them to bend the rules for me is a compelling enough argument.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what will increase my chances of them treating my new book like they have treated the others in my example?

I am unaware of any special methods to increase chances, but just because it in the database doesn't mean it has been made an exception, it could have simply been overlooked.
