ISBN won't import?

[Lobstergirl]

Here's a strange one - ISBN 1605067199 on Amazon here

http://www.amazon.com/Story-Burnt-Nja...

won't import to GR.

[vicki_girl]

Maybe beacuse there's no author listed...? Just a shot in dark, it might be messing with the system somehow. You could always add it manually.

That's probably the cause -- if a book record on Amazon is missing a piece of information that's required on GR then it won't import.

Here's another one - won't import even though author is listed on Amazon.

I think the Amazon API may be flaky tonight. I couldn't get a book to refresh.

[Lobstergirl]

I just imported a different book and it imported in Vietnamese.

[rivka, Librarian Moderator]

Which book?

[Lobstergirl]

I think it was this one, yep, change log confirms change from vie to eng.

And 978-0816182602 now refreshed fine.

Weird.

Weird."

I think I added that one manually.

[Lobstergirl]

Strange, I know I added it manually but now the source is Amazon. Does refreshing overwrite the source of a manual add?

[rivka, Librarian Moderator]

Yup.

Importing problems again. ISBN 0786101512.

[Lobstergirl]

Now it imported.
