ISBN Issues

[Robert]

When I enter a book, I always type in the ISBN. When GR can't find the book that way, I type in the title. When GR can't find the book that way, I manually add the book.

Just now I entered '0763627135'. Nothing.
I then entered 'Maisy's Valentine Sticker Book'. Nothing.

I then attempted to add the book manually. When I clicked 'Create book', I received the following error:

"Isbn is taken by an existing book with the title "Maisy's Valentine Sticker Book (Maisy)". Search for 0763627135 in the header to view it. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ISBNs are optional so you can also add this book without an ISBN."

I have gone back to repeat the search, but still come up with nothing.

How can I enter this book?

That means someone marked it NOT A BOOK, presumably because it's a sticker book. However, it appears to have an actual plot, so it should not be NAB'd. I'll see if we have any developers around today who can help find it.

sorry, we've got a ticket to fix it so they're at least searchable by isbn. here's the book in question, which should soon be resurrected: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

I fixed it. Give it about 10 minutes, and it should show up in search again.

Thank you all for your help with this. I appreciate it.
