EShay Fagan (eshay11) | 569 comments This is more a just curious (also kicking myself for not confirming main page genre early) but how can Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson be the #3 book on the "Superheros" genre page but not have superheros as a main page genre? Is it because not enough people have put it on a personalized superheros list?

Thanks anyone who answers!


message 1452: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 738 comments Main Page Genres are only based on what people tag the books as personally. It's based on the shelves of Goodreads users, not based on what the genre of the book actually is.

Christine | 917 comments Could someone with librarian privileges please add the page number info to this MMP edition of The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy? I am currently reading the ebook, and so I need the MMP to list page numbers in order to claim it for the challenge. The MMP edition can be found on Amazon here.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Cait! Frustrating when there are many different iterations of "super," "superhero," etc on the book shelving, but not enough to get superheros on the MPG :-/

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Here's another one of those annoying "default" dates for Originally Published
Once Upon a River
This hardcover edition, published in July 2011, seems to be the earliest edition out there ... but the original pub date is shown as January 1, 2011. S * I * G * H

Thanks in advance.

Bea Done, Book Concierge.

Christine | 917 comments Could someone add the ISBN for this Kindle edition of Mere Christianity, so I can use it for Fall 2016 Task 10.7? ISBN info is listed on its Amazon page here.

Thanks!


message 1459: by Catie (new)

Catie | 185 comments Sorry, but it looks like the ISBN is shared with another edition of the book, and a fun quirk of goodreads is that no two editions can have the same ISBN.

To add the book to a post, search using the title and click "other editions" for the first one that comes up, your edition should then be third on the list.


message 1460: by Catie (new)

Catie | 185 comments Alternatively, you can put square brackets [] around the text below to link to your edition.

book:Mere Christianity|6573892 = Mere Christianity

Christine, if you are using the Kindle edition, you can put the ASIN in the book/title search box when posting, and it will bring up your edition. You do not need the ISBN.

Nevermind...I get it now. You need the ISBN to put into the Classify system. Could you use the Amazon one and put that link in your post to prove it goes with the Kindle book? I would ask in the help thread to be sure.


message 1462: by Andrea (new)

Andrea I am wondering why i cannot link to a book I am reading - There But For The by Ali Smith https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I can use the above link but am unable to find it in the add book/author pop-up. When I post the task, will that be acceptable?
Thanks


message 1463: by Bea (last edited Aug 22, 2016 06:46AM) (new)

Bea Put the ISBN in the book/author search, and it will pop up.

Alternatively you can enter the author name and then scroll through the pages of books she has written until you come to the book...much slower way.

The task has been modified to include a solution to this problem. Thanks for your help, everyone!

Maya (ferafaces) | 356 comments Can I get this edition of Anne Of Green Gables updated to show the original publication year of 1908? Please and thank you! :)


message 1466: by Bea (new)

Bea It just needed to be combined with other editions. Original publication date shows now.

message 1469: by Bea (new)

Bea Christina (AKA Babbling), GR uses Worldcat as the definitive page count source. I have updated it using that source. Let me know if it does not match your book.

Sandi Barnes | 549 comments Would a librarian please look at this book record and see what corrections they can make. Title (only shows as D), original title says Tale of Two Cities (someone's idea of a joke?) Description says "Novel to be removed". Print copy has an original publication date that may actually reference the Tale of Two Cities. Author - H. R. Puffnstuf (hey a shout out to Saturday Morning Cartoons I guess) . . . anyway . . .

Sandi Barnes | 549 comments Could I please have someone correct the title of this book (has an extra B in Forbidden) record and add book cover

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-isla...

For me, it's not important to combine editions, but if correcting record anyway, may want to do that as well

Kindle edition: Forbidden Islands
Paperback edition I have: Forbbidden Islands

Thanks!!

Maya (ferafaces) | 356 comments Need a librarian because I'm confused.

I can't find this book ANYWHERE but I own it as part of this box set (this one :Mrs. Fix It Mysteries: The Complete 15-Books Cozy Mystery Series). The author herself doesn't even have it posted on her GR/Amazon/etc. I can't find an ISBN or page number or anything. HELP ME

(book added by me : Murder at the Mansion)


message 1492: by Kristina (last edited Oct 08, 2016 03:05PM) (new)

Kristina | 283 comments If they were never sold seperatly then I don't think you can add them as such.. It would be best to ask in the Librarian's group.


message 1493: by Kristina (last edited Oct 08, 2016 03:07PM) (new)

Kristina | 283 comments It looks like the others have ASINs. Are you sure the one you have doesn't?


message 1494: by Maya (new)

Maya (ferafaces) | 356 comments I have no idea on how to check that. So its possible that it does, but I can't find it -anywhere-. I'll ask in the Librarian's group.

Sarah | 1804 comments Would it be possible to add that this is a paperback edition?

A Caribbean Mystery

Thanks so much.

Thanks very much. Yes, it does have an ISBN, which is already on GR for a different edition - 0006164358. I don't know what happens in such a case.

Info inside the book says:

First published 1964
First issued in Fontana Paperbacks 1966
Fourteenth impression May 1990
