Adding a book cover

[Bernard]

Hello,

Can someone please add this cover https://www.goodreads.com/photo/autho... to this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...?

It is my photo taken from the book I own and I have checked the details of the online paperback.

It would be great if you could also add the name of a translator: Aleksandra Barlović.

Thank you!

Off the topic, I have posted a request for updating book details here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., but this book somehow went unnoticed.

Can you update this book's details too, please?

Thank you very much,

Bernard

Is the ISBN correct? When I try to upload cover it is rejected by the system as ISBN is not recognised

[Martin]

I think I have found the problem.
Correct details are shown at https://www.worldcat.org/title/428976...
I have requested fix from staff (librarians cannot edit ISBN) and will add cover and translator when it has been fixed.

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for your help with Prodavanje bolesti book cover!

Can you maybe add / fix the details for that other book by Goran Tribuson too?

Your other request is in the queue for adding new books which is very slow at the moment, if you move it to the correct queue it will be dealt with more quickly https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Thank you for this info, will add it there too.

Please move the post so that it isn't in two queues at the same time.

I will delete the old one, I can do that right?

[Martin]

Yes, you could do it that way

Okay, thanks.

I have written to staff asking to have the ISBN corrected, they have responded to say it is correct and give source https://mvinfo.hr/knjiga/3310/prodava...
I have tried again to add the cover but still get error message 'Isbn13 appears invalid. Please double-check the ISBN13: "9789532570624".'
I will try asking for advice from more experienced librarians.

Hi Martin, it seems that something is wrong with the ISBN after all. The one in the book is ISBN 978-953-257-062-5. However, the one on the book cover is ISBN 9-789532570625.

Does it mean that this book cover doesn't belong to this book because other information is okay? Shall I then post a new book with these ISBN instead we struggle with this one?

Thanks for all your help and advice.

[Martin]

I have asked for advice from other librarians so will wait a while and see what people say.

All right. Please let me know when you have the feedback so I know whether to post the new book or not. Thanks!

That doesn't look like a site that is allowed for book data...

[lethe]

Strange, I tried to upload the cover and even though after the error message I ticked the "I understand this ISBN is invalid. Save changes anyway" box, the cover doesn't save.

I thought that too, but it's what Goodreads staff are quoting at me. I think that site has added 978 to front of ISBN 10 to create an incorrect ISBN 13.

[lethe]

Yes, I've heard before that staff seem to work by other rules than librarians have to :/

I hadn't looked at the bottom of the form so hadn't seen that tick box, I've learnt something new today.
Having said that, it still doesn't work.

Do you think it might be easier to upload the new book with the two correct ISBNs and the cover I sent you? Maybe someone uploaded the book with the wrong ISBN and it cannot be corrected now or the edition which doesn't exist anymore? I hate giving you so much headache and trouble with this book.
