I have two books that I added. When I click on the links to retailers for these books, it goes to the retailer, Amazon, for example, but not to my books. I am not sure how to link it properly. I thought I had done so. Thank you.

Karri,It helps if you tells which books you are having issues with (or post links to the editions).
A quick note, retailer links are set by individual users and are not set by book.
If the books are not linking properly a librarian can check to make sure the information is entered correctly, but beyond that it will need to be addressed to staff.

I assumed you meant The Grove? There was a mistake in the ASIN (should have been 0, not O), which I corrected, now the link works.What is the second one? Links to books that need to be corrected are always appreciated.
Thank you so much, The second one is Relegation.

The second one is Relegation.
For Relegation, the Kindle edition worked for me on the first try. Your paperback edition had a wrong ISBN 10 for the corresponding ISBN 13. I've fixed that.
You also had an extra edition without any edition specific information. I've set that to be merged into the other editions. It might take a couple of days for everything to process and the reviews to display correctly. None of the reviews are actually missing, it just takes the cache a couple of days fully process.
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!
I just noticed though that the link for The Grove only works for Amazon and not B&N and Google Play. The link for Relegation only works or Amazon and not for B&N.
You have to click on the retailer from the edition that is sold on that retailer's site. For example, Kindle editions with ASIN will not come up on the B&N or Google Play websites. If you like, you can set which edition you'd like to be primary for each book by following these steps
