Brandon Dusch | 2 comments I'm currently reading Thich Nhat Hahn's "Peace Is Every Step". This is the only book that I'm tracking on my account.

However, the number of read pages are not updating on the Goodreads UI (i.e., no percentage bar). Also there is no cover attached for this page: Peace Is Every Step Publisher: Bantam.

Despite my only reading this one book at the moment, a different page for the same title (Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life) is also labeled with "Currently Reading". It also has a cover!

Any way to reconcile these two records/pages so that (a) I can see my progress reflected on the site (% of pages read), and (b) the cover is visible?

That's not even a real book record, and it should be deleted by a superlibrarian. Please use the ISBN on your book to find the correct edition. I only see the invalid Bantam record in your currently reading shelf.

Duplicate of default edition (with third party seller asin) merged (=deleted).

Brandon Dusch | 2 comments Thanks Scott and Arenda!

Fwiw, that non-real book record came up when I searched on the mobile app, via image search. Perhaps an audit for these invalid records should be done?

Would be nice to just use image search instead of ISBN (so many numbers to type). But I'll do that going forward until that's no longer needed.

By all means, send a suggestion to support.

Lots of editions have the same cover though.
