Sara | 54 comments Hi!

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

I have this book in my physical library so I know that the ISBN is correct and the title is correct.

The cover is missing, the author is wrong, the description vanished. I find this odd because when i added it to my goodreads library through the ISBN everything was correct.

Every time that i try to make correct the corrections don't "stick" it always changes back to this (The cover is missing, the author is wrong, the description vanished).

I checked the librarian edits and i see that several people tried to correct the book (although with some mistakes regarding publisher) but it always comes back to this.

So, is it a glitch?

Julie (readerjules) | 36 comments I tried to fix the author. So far it is staying....we'll see what happens.

ETA: I see someone else fixed the rest of the info. I was too lazy to look it up at the moment but I knew the author!

Sara | 54 comments Everything seems fine now thanx Julie and Lilian.

I just think it strange how all the info got screwed up and that so many people tried to correct it and the corrections didn't stay.

Moloch | 3975 comments I'd suggest a (sticky) thread for requesting corrections (like the one for merging Goodreads Authors or deleting books), since it's likely there's gonna be many (or some) of them in the next days. It would be better than always opening a new one for each request.

Julie (readerjules) | 36 comments I have seen other instances where info seemed to disappear too. When adding changes the other day, I noticed several times that the same info was adding was added by someone else two or three days earlier. It seems like some info is getting lost in all these imports or something. We will get it all fixed eventually!

I don't think that's a big deal, actually. It makes it easier to follow individual threads of discussion.

Sara | 54 comments Rivka do you think there is some problem with the librarian tools? Because as I said the librarian log book had evidence that several people tried to correct that book.

I'm having some difficulties also with cover art, i added several books manually and some of the covers just disappeared. One of the books i had to add the cover three times because it kept desappearing.

The log shows only a single time.


message 12: by Sara (new)

Sara | 54 comments but i tried three times, so much so that i have the cover art in two different computers from two different sites.

Yesterday I even have a error gateway 502 while trying to correct books.

I guess the deleted member added ... is the script to delete info from amazon?

In second episode of Office Fantasies the temperatures rising in the office between Marcus and Sydney. What started out as a playful flirty working relationship has developed into a heated romance in and outside of the office.

Only Sydney has bear witness to the “baby-faced’ nymphomaniac which lurks in the office. Stuck like glue to each other, these two plan a hardcore sex crazed weekend alone.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Symphony -

I added the description to Perfect Chemistry. For Cover Blown, the two editions are a paperback and a Kindle edition. Goodreads keeps both of these as users want to shelve the format they own.

Is the cover for the Kindle Edition the same as the Paperback? If so, I will add the cover to the Kindle Edition so they both have covers.


message 17: by Symphony (new)

Symphony (symphony30) | 7 comments Yes but i made a mistake the paperback is not available as of yet so i only need one edition if that is possible. Thank you !
