Fictionophile  (fictionophile) | 27 comments I tried to create a book record on Goodreads by using the ASIN provided on Amazon. I copied and pasted, so I know it is correct. However... I get an error message saying: "ASIN contains invalid characters. ASINs should contain only letters and numerals".
The ASIN is B0BL9JH7V5 for a book called "The Weekend" by L.H. Stacey
Obviously this ASIN does only contain letters and numerals. Could you shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Scott | 8746 comments Well for one thing the book is already here. Search that ASIN and you will find it.


Fictionophile  (fictionophile) | 27 comments Curious....
Why not have the error notice say duplicate ASIN rather than the ones I got which were:
1) ASIN contains invalid characters. ASINs should contain only letters and numerals
2) ASIN is invalid.

When I first searched this book by ASIN I got a "Can't find the book? Add a new record" message.

You would have to contact Support to ask that.
