Is it just me or have the librarian edit buttons completely disappeared? I don't think I've been removed as a librarian (at least I really hope not!) since my profile still states that I'm a Goodreads Librarian. But I can't seem to find the controls on any book I look at. I know I was still able to to do librarian edits as of about a week ago. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yeah I just noticed this too. I can still combine and add new editions and such, the edit link is just gone on the book page.
I also have noticed this. It was there less than 2 hours ago when I did some edits, but it's gone now.ETA: I can still edit books by changing 'show' to 'edit' in the book's URL, but yeah the edit details link is gone.

Same here. I randomly checked about 20 books, and of those, only 1 had the "Edit Details" option.

Meanwhile, the edit page is there, so you can manually edit the book URL ("show" to "edit") to access it if you don't want to wait.

Whew, glad it wasn't just me!Until it gets fixed, you can go into the "all editions" listing and edit books from there.

Thanks for that tip.
