Aster (pithmoss) Hi! I have a book I'd like to add to the Good Reads database but it has no ISBN or ASIN and the only info i have is the title, author and publisher, as well as a physical copy. Is this possible? I haven't added a book before so I'm a bit unsure of the procedure

Elon | 1976 comments As long as it is a valid book record, ISBNs aren't important. Many books are published without them, and many were published before they were a thing. You can see here what constitutes a valid book record: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

But FYI, questions like this goes better into the "questions" folder.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20203 comments Please provide as many details as you can, following the guidelines as per GR template How to request a book to be added to Goodreads.

If you can't give an ISBN/ASIN nor an acceptable link where we can find a cover image and the book's details enabling us to verify your info, it may help if you take a photo of the book's front (cover), back (description) and the colofon. Upload these photos to https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group... (click 'add more photos').

Success!
