Alexey Gerasimovich (knari) | 71 comments Hey! It is getting a bit annoying. I have had the same problem before and now it happened again. There is a new book being published in the series. I added the book few days ago: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

And it is #10 in the following series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/229263

But I can't add it as when I try to find it by the title or by the author name the search results do not find it. I am tring to add it every day for almost a week now.

Any ideas why does it happen and how finally to add it?

Renske | 12233 comments That is a know issue, due to some problem it takes a long time before searching by title works. So you should try it again in a few days.
If a book has an ISBN or ASIN, searching by those does work.

Hi Alexey

Due to the pandemic there are very few volunteer librarians around at the moment. (I need to get off the computer myself in a moment)

I notice you didn't add ISBNs for this book. If you can supply those I'm happy to add them next time I'm on the computer.

Alexey Gerasimovich (knari) | 71 comments Yes, I know that with ISBN it works much better. If have found such workaround before. Unfortunately the publisher hasn't presented ISBN for this edition yet, as the book isn't published yet.

I'm afraid it will take at least seven days to be searchable then.

You are right. Today, after a week I could find it and add. Finally
