Abigail (abigailadams26) | 128 comments Hi there! I'm a GR librarian, but this one is above my pay grade. :)

The following book has been marked as invalid:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I physically own a copy, and would like to shelve it. Would it be possible to get this designation removed? The paperback copy, and copies in other language are also on the site, but this is the hardcover copy, with this ISBN. I can testify that it is an actual book.

Thanks for any help!

Oh! Apologies, I was not aware that regular librarians could do this. I didn't see anything, when editing the book, that mentioned it, and when I did edit some of the info there (supplying the author, which had previously been unknown), it didn't seem to change the note at top of the page:

"This item does not meet our catalog guidelines and can no longer be rated or reviewed."

If you point me in the right direction, I'm happy to do this.

Ah! Apologies again, I appear to have never noticed that (having never used it before)! Many thanks for pointing that out—I have now resolved this on my own, and learned something in the process! :)
