message 1: by Rishu (new) - added it

Rishu | 17 comments Hi,

I tried adding the ISBN to the book listed above, but I cannot type any numbers into the field. Can I not add an ISBN when an ASIN is already listed? I always search books I want to add to my library by ISBN and also with the listed ASIN I cannot even find the book on Amazon so I don't think it's correct.

What ist the right move to add the ISBN? Add a new edition with the ISBN and merge it with the ASIN edition? Ask a super librarian?

Thanks for your help.

2) ASIN/ISBN will no longer be editable on an existing book record when present.

As of June 20th 2022, Goodreads will restrict changing or removing the content of the ISBN and ASIN fields once they have been populated for a given book record. Librarians will no longer be able to edit the ISBN or ASIN once present. If no ISBN or ASIN is present for a book record, Librarians and the Author of the book can add the ISBN or ASIN to the record. If an invalid ISBN or ASIN has been entered, the book edition with the incorrect ISBN or ASIN can be merged into one with the correct ISBN or ASIN — by a Superlibrarian when necessary.

The creation of Alternate Cover Editions continues to be supported, and the Add an Alternate Cover Edition tool will continue to create a new book edition, and to move the ISBN or ASIN to the newly created ACE.
