annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments Perhaps my memory tricks me but I'm almost sure the display of ASIN among the 'Data Sources' table in the Librarian Changelog wasn't there a week or two ago. Great addition, Team Goodreads!

If it's been there all along, please someone send me a new brain. :)

I agree, great addition, GR!


annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments Phew! ;)

We did not add any new fields.

We did change the order to alphabetical. Which makes the ASIN far less buried.

lethe | 16359 comments I have never seen the ASIN field in the Data Sources table, only the ISBN field (not filled in for Kindle editions). Just as whenever a book with an ASIN is merged, the merge shows as "Deleted edition id=[xxx] title=[yyy] isbn=, merged [z] reviews".

Yup, matches the way I remember it too. Not that it matters, I'm glad I see it now.
