Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other 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).

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27072 comments Worldcat lists this as "Thesis, Dissertation."
Those are not valid to add to the database.

Romuald (sigurdas) | 515 comments Well, the Manual does not specifically prohibit the use of thesis, as far as I understand, unless someone has experience of rejecting those with specific argumentation? It is not uncommon for dissertations to be published in a book form, and even with ISBN.
I'll wait for feedback from other librarians (not closing/adding yet).


message 5: by David (new)

David Raz (davidraz) | 13248 comments Putting the dissertation issue aside, the WorldCat entry refers to a different book (বাংলাদেশের প্রবন্ধে সাহিত্যচিন্তা) by a different author (নিলুফা আহসান) and a different publisher (ভাষাপ্রকাশ), so it isn’t relevant here.

I also believe the WorldCat entry is incorrect, since the ISBN prefix 978-984-94522 belongs to বায়ান্ন ’৫২, which matches the book requested by the OP. I found the same ISBN in use by several booksellers as well.

That said, the publisher has no website, only a Facebook page, and I wasn’t able to find this book there, nor could I locate any other reliable source for the ISBN or the cover. So for now, we can’t do much until the OP provides a response.

Romuald (sigurdas) | 515 comments Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. In that case follow the guidelines as per GR template How to request a book to be added to Goodreads. Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
