* Description: The fortunes of the Grants of Kilgraston in Perthshire were interlinked with the rise and subsequent decline of the Caribbean slave economy. The men and women of this family are a wonderfully varied cast of characters who were colourful, idiosyncratic, wayward and talented. As the British Empire extended its dominion, the Grants cemented their position in high society and left their mark on history as they encountered royalty and the White Rajahs of Sarawak.

Providing unique insights into the social, military, sporting and artistic worlds of the time, it is a Scottish and British story which incorporates class and social advancement. Alongside glamour, adventures, knighthoods and tragedies was the ever-present reality that extravagant lifestyles and successful careers were sustained by slaves in Jamaica, the links to which were hidden in plain sight.

Hello, following up on this since it's been over a month since I posted. I'd still really appreciate having this book added. I realize that those involved are busy and want to thank you again.

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 10112 comments I'm sorry to say that the website provided doesn't show the information we need to be able to add the book. We need a webpage showing the (ISBN/ASIN and other) book data, not just the cover. We also need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

ALSO, please note the ISBN you posted goes to a title called"

IEEE Standard for Information TechnologyPortable Operating System Interface (POSIX(R)) Base Specifications, Issue 7 - Technical Corrigendum 1" according to Worldcat.org
