I have and would really like to do so, but with my job...just don't think I would have the time.
I added your edition Bea! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
About being a librarian... Goodreads has no requirement for librarians to do anything, you can edit one book a year or one hundred books a day - it doesn't matter. You're already doing the most time consuming part and the only difference would be typing the information into the edit book page instead of typing it out here. You'd also benefit from the peace of mind of knowing it's been done and not having to wait for someone here. No pressure either way - but I thought it might be a bit of valuable from-the-other-side insight. :)
I have added an ebook edition for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. ISBN 9781781100387. Please add cover and combine.Cover is the same as ISBN 9781781100110
Got 767 & 768To be a librarian you have to have 50 books on your profile and then you can apply here. I would also suggest looking at the librarian manual to get a feel for the policies and such - most of which is probably pretty familiar to you since you've been following this thread for a while. :) You don't have to participate in the Goodreads Librarians Group, but they recommend you join in case they announce a policy change or something.
I was wondering if a librarian would please add a page count for me? The book is Scholars and Gypsies. I have the 1963 edition, which is the one shown on here. There are 324 pages. Here is the Amazon link. Although it doesn't show a page count either, it does show the cover.http://www.amazon.com/Scholars-Gypsie...
Thanks

I have just added an edition of A Journal of the Plague Year with a description and by publisher Dent (hardcopy). I put down that it had 295 pages which included the appendix. However, as I am unsure of how GR counts pages...the book itself ends on page 280 with one appendix following. All pages including the appendix are counted in the page numbering. If it should be 280, please change it when the book is combined. Thank you.Oh, and I am unsure if I have added this book in the past, although I did not see it in the editions list for handcovers. I might have added it and failed to request combining. Sorry.

Bea - I did find a second edition that you added. These are the two I'm looking at. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
They have some different information, so I wanted to double check that they are the same edition. If so, I'll go ahead and merge the two before I combine them and they get lost in all the other editions.

Vicky, the 17190392 is the more complete one, and the one I most recently added with the book in hand.
Vicky wrote: "I merged the other one and combined them with the rest. Should be all good now. :)"thank you.
I added the print editions of two books that I read in ebook format. Can you please merge these? Thank you.Burn Out and Burn Out by Traci Hohenstein
The White Angel Murder and The White Angel Murder by Victor Methos
I'm reading this Kindle book--- which says-Book Language: English-
But the description is in Spanish which I find
really strange.
Can this be changed?
Romancing Miss Bronte
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...
thanks
Fixed. That edition didn't actually have a description and someone made the Spanish one the default, which is why it was showing in Spanish... I hate when that happens. >_<
I have a couple of books that need to have the ebook and print versions merged. Also, the print versions do not have covers (which are the same as the ebook versions per openisbn.com)Slave Gold and Slave Gold by Becca Van
His Submissive Jewel and His Submissive Jewel The Martinis and Chocolate Book Club 3 by Lara Valentine
I have just read A Dog's Purpose by W Bruce Cameron (144721062X (ISBN13: 9781447210627) and noticed that the GR page for this edition does not list the number of pages. Can someone edit it in? There are 333. Thanks
Sorry, ive just picked up my second book of the challange and that one hasnt got the page numbers either... the white tiger by aravind adiga ISBN: 9781843547204.. 321 pages, thanks
I was hoping someone could add a page count and possibly a cover for me?The book is Nine Lives: From Stripper To Schoolteacher: My Year Long Odyssey In The Workplace by Lynn Snowden.
The book has 287 pages. I'm not sure how you (the librarians) add covers, but here is a link to the book's Amazon page.
http://www.amazon.com/Nine-Lives-Scho...
Thanks
Added the pages.We aren't allowed to use book data from Amazon, but I found the cover on the author's site so I added it.

Is this a GR rule...?
Ty wrote: "Is this a GR rule...?"Yes. As a rule, any site that is a bookseller (Amazon, Google Books, Alibiris, etc) are not acceptable to get data from. Publishers that sell their books on their site are exempt because, well, they're the publisher.
There's a link to more info and a link to specific acceptable sources here: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/26...
I am wondering if a librarian can help me with a couple of problems. First can we add the cover to this book?
Stealing Liberties
I am not sure how to add a picture here but there is a picture here:
http://lisapietsch.com/task-force-125...
and
http://lisapietsch.com/task-force-125...
Next:
The Path to Freedom, A Taste of Liberty, Freedom's Promise, and Stealing Liberties are all part of the Task Force 125 series and all have paperback editions here is the link to Amazon which shows them with book # and paperback editions.
http://www.amazon.com/Lisa-Pietsch/e/...
Thank you!
I added the cover to Stealing Liberties and created a series for the books.For legal reasons we aren't allowed to use Amazon as a data source and since I can't find ISBN information on the author's site I can't add the paperbacks at this time.
If you own the paperbacks and provide the following for the books I can add the, but otherwise we'll have to wait for someone who can confirm the details to provide them.
* Title
* Author(s) name(s)
* ISBN (or ASIN)
* Publisher
* Publication date
* Format
* Description
* Link to cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. No Amazon, B&N, or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data.
If someone could add the following book I would greatly appreciate it.Title - White Tiger
Author - Henry Milner Rideout
Publisher - Duffield and Co.
Format - Hardcover
Publication Date - 1915
Page count - 168
I am sorry I do not have a cover (lost over the years at the Library I guess), ISBN or a description of the book. I hope this is enough info.
Thanks!!!!!
Added. Could not find a cover that could be used on Worldcat (cover shown had page turned). Date of book would preclude ISBN.
I have a problem with an edition of Honore de Balzac's "Old Goriot". The translator's name is put instead of the author's name, that is Balzac.Here's the edition.
Old Goriot

Does it take a while for added books to show up? I am not finding White Tiger by Henry Milner Rideout. I have searched by title and author and still nothing.
Bluemoon wrote: "Does it take a while for added books to show up? I am not finding White Tiger by Henry Milner Rideout. I have searched by title and author and still nothing."It should only take 10 mins. I couldn't find it either and it wasn't under his author page, so I've added it.
