Matt (sleeplessmatt) | 14 comments Hello.

I hope I'm posting this in a correct section. I apologize if not.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This book seems to be tagged as a "non-book" right now, not allowing for any ratings or reviews.
I don't think that's correct. It's a (self-)published book, still available for purchase via Amazon as ebook or physical. There is nothing unusual about this text.

I have gone through Librarian Manual page for what counts as a "non-book" and none of it applies to this release.

So, unless I'm missing something here, I'd really appreciate if someone with the appropriate authority would take a look at it and change it.
Thank you very much.

EDIT: It looks like it's exclusive to that specific edition I linked up there in my post. Other editions don't have that problem. Which makes it even stranger to me.

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments In this case, this edition doesn't have ISBN and there are 5 other editions. Click "Show all 5 editions" and then "Switch to this edition".

Note this does not require a Superlibrarian. Please post future requests like this in the "Book & Author Page Issues" section of the forum.

Renske | 12220 comments There is an issue with bots marking books incorrectly as invalid. I reverted this one, but it might take some time before it shows correctly.

It does have an ASIN and looks like it was a valid Kindle edition at some point, so it doesn't matter it doesn't have an ISBN.


Matt (sleeplessmatt) | 14 comments I really appreciate the feedback from both of you and thank you, Renske, for editing it.
I'll also make sure I'll be posting in the other section, if I ever come across something like this again.
