Kain (multinerd963) | 3 comments * Title:Kidnapped
* Author(s) name(s):Robert Louis Stevenson
* ISBN (or ASIN):N/A
* Publisher: Oxford University Press
* Publication Date Year:1969
* Publication Date Month:N/A
* Publication Date Day:N/A

* Format : Hardcover
* Description:Tricked by the uncle who has stolen his inheritance, young David Balfour is kidnapped and bound for America. Or at least that was the plan, until the ship runs into trouble and David is rescued by Alan Breck Stewart, fugitive Jacobite and, by his own admission, a ‘bonny fighter’. Balfour, a canny lowlander, finds an echo of some wilder and more romantic self in the wilful and courageous Highland spirit of Alan Breck. A strange and difficult friendship is born, as their adventures begin.

Kidnapped has become a classic of historical romance the world over and is justly famous as a novel of travel and adventure in the Scottish landscape. Stevenson’s vivid descriptive powers were never better than in his account of remote places and dangerous action in the Highlands in the years after Culloden.
* Language (for non-English books):English

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the book data to validate the info and if available we 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/..., 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).

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 11035 comments Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.

Kain (multinerd963) | 3 comments I gave up because you were demanding answers and images I already stated I did not have access to despite your many links.

You can upload a picture of your own copy if you have access to one.

As far as demanding answers, that is that librarian's boilerplate message to everyone, and it is just explaining where to get images or how to upload your own if none exist for your book on those sites.
