Anwen Hayward (teashoesandhair) | 15 comments I'm trying to add this book to my list of books that I've read this year: Armour, by Christy Ducker.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

When I try to do so, I get the following error: 'This item does not meet our catalog guidelines and can no longer be rated or reviewed.'

I have checked the criteria for books which may not meet the catalogue guidelines, which are as follows:

Magazines
Zines
A short story (or short stories) which have only been published in an anthology or magazine
Deleted scenes
Extras which are only published at the back of a specific book edition
Stories that are only available via subscription to a newsletter, or via a website that requires registration
Individual works that are only available for purchase when bundled with another primary work
Calendars, diaries, and blank books that do not contain additional content

However, 'Armour' is none of these. It is a standalone poetry pamphlet, with an ISBN (1906613362) available to purchase individually in a range of bookshops and online. I think this has been incorrectly marked as not meeting the criteria, and should be re-added. Thanks!

Anwen Hayward (teashoesandhair) | 15 comments To bolster this theory, please note that Christy Ducker has published multiple poetry pamphlets:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

And the book is detailed for purchase on her author website: https://www.christyducker.co.uk/publi...

And also reviewed here: https://www.sphinxreview.co.uk/index....

Thanks!

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments This does not require a superlibrarian. Please post future requests in the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder.

Will do. Soz for any faff, but unfortunately the entire website is awfully laid out and there's quite literally no information about where to post any given topic. Even on the page where I found the list of criteria, it just says to post in the Librarians Group, but doesn't give any notion as to where within the Librarians Group it should be posted, so I just put it where it seemed to best fit, after reading the pinned posts in every individual Group and also finding very, very little information.

I think there needs to be a bit more signposting, because at the moment, it's essentially just a complete shot in the dark. Thanks anyway!

Thanks! I'll do that, once I can work out how to do it on this hellish website.
