As I said it has an asin, and no where does it say its a paperback. I've no idea what sort of edition it is.
Hi librarians,Can someone please add the book Second Chance by Diana Thurgood?

It'll take awhile to appear correctly due to caching :)
I looked at this one too; I'll be interested in your review when you get to it.
This title picking up the wrong first published date from somewhere - says 2010 & actually 2005.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Thanks Librarians.

Fixed.
It's not an automatic thing, a librarian has to add it.

It was already in the database but marked as invalid, as it had unknown author, despite having the cover. Sigh.
I've made it good, and combined with the other editions.

OK, reinstated the kindle edition, which also had the isbns for the paperback edition, so I'll have to report it to support.
Doctor Tom Lewis will be an on-going project.
Thank you so much for this, Sandra, and apologies for the mess that is Doctor Tom Lewis! Appreciate the work you do.
No worries Rowan, its just very annoying that the bots can wreck the database so easily.

Paperback done by support.

Could you add an edition - I don't think it's there - of this bookhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
isbn 9781509886876 - 5 cd, narrator Mark Meadows
this is my library record in case it helps
https://penrithcity.spydus.com/cgi-bi...
Also, these audio eds. need combining
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I assume Stephen Sartarelli is the translator & they both need the author, Andrea Camilleri, added.
Thanks.

I love Montalbano, or I should say the movies. Did read the first couple of books, but I probably should've read the ones I hadn't seen on the screen :D
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Could you add pages, publisher & date (9/5/23) please?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thanks.
Sandra wrote: "I love Montalbano, or I should say the movies. Did read the first couple of books, but I probably should've read the ones I hadn't seen on the screen :D..."Thanks Sandra. I don't think I've ever seen the series. My, my! There's 15 seasons of it.

Thanks! Am having problems with several books, some by the author Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin which has several entries for the author that need to be brought together. Rabbi S Y Zevin, Shlomo Yosef Zevin, S Y Zevinprobs should be under Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin

Rabbi S Y Zevin, Shlomo Yosef Z..."Merged all the profiles I could find, if there are any more you're aware of please link them for me and I'll merge them.
We don't use honorifics in author names, such as PHd or Dr or Sister or Father (priest) and so we also don't use Rabbi.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Photos of authors are pretty problematic as they need to be in public domain. Most photos have copyright so can't be used.
Could you update the pages (343) for this one, please?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thanks.

Done. Worldcat agreed.
I think these are the same edition & need merginghttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
At any rate, the 2nd one certainly wasn't published in 1775.
Thanks.

I have just heard of a book entitled "Sholda been higher" about the history of the music charts in Australia written by a DJ called Tom W Clarke. However, Goodreads has the author as Tom Clarke who is an Alaskan? who writes about gun violence. Could someone please change the author's profile. Thanks

Moved the book to a new profile. The Alaskan deserves his own profile. LOL.

There are two existing Goodreads entries for this - Kindle editions. The title for these appears different to the publisher website, book cover (and my copy).

Reverted the weird amazon bot "updates".
Hi, I just noticed that a book I read recently is listed under an author of the same name. It's a debut by a UK author, not an American. Thanks!Anna O.

Regarding your first request, the book has an asin, which might make it be a book sold by a reseller, however, as its no longer in the active system, I can't get rid of it. Also it was worked on by a Super Librarian back in March, so it might've been a real book.
