Cameo | 98 comments I have searched and cannot find the answer. The rescue this book edit page says we cannot use Amazon.

That means it is valid for book data, but not so sure that it is valid for Rescuing a book, I thought that had to be a book in hand thing.

Cameo | 98 comments Moloch: That's what I thought, but it's confusing, because it still says: "IMPORTANT: Do not use Amazon's information to rescue books."

Philip: It says if I don't have the book in hand, I can use "legally obtained" info found on the net, but have to provide the link for the source.

The book rescue page is outdated. Yes, Amazon data is ok.

And thanks for bringing this up. I'll see if we can get someone to fix it soon.
