Cyndy (cyndy-ksreader) | 516 comments I was looking for my edition of The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy. The main record
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
for the book shows that I have read the book, but none of the editions show as being read.
It isn't easy to find books on my shelves as they are extensive. I finally found my book at
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Adding this link in the "This topic is about" space generates a popup message that the book isn't found. I was able to go direct to the link where there is a message that states "This item does not meet our catalog guidelines and can no longer be rated or reviewed." Can a similar message appear on the main book page or editions page that lets the user know that the edition they originally added / reviewed has been moved and they need to pick a new one. Some classics have loads of editions that take time to go through. This book has just under 100 and that's still a lot.

Cyndy (cyndy-ksreader) | 516 comments I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the book I selected originally. It would be nice to have more information on books that have issues,or notify users when they have books that are deemed not to meet guidelines.

Renske | 12220 comments There is an issue with bots incorrectly marking books as invalid. I changed this edition back to valid, but it might need some time before it shows normal.
