message 1: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Edmonds (aedmonds36) | 9 comments While searching goodreads lately I have found a ton of unknown authors & titles.

I've searched using ISBN or ASIN and have found the book they belong to but they are all on book seller's sites (indigo.ca for example)(B&N) (bookseller.com)

I can't seem to find the book on any other sites though, besides being linked to some goodread's user profile who also display the "unknown" book. Do I not rescue the book then or do I enter the source as indigo..?
I'm new so please bear with me.

I do know not to use B&N and Amazon for sure as they went away as datasources. But I'm just not sure how to resuce books that only seem to be able to be found on seller sites.

Help? Please!

Is there any info in the reviews if any attached,some times the original title is still filled in or the book remains combined with other editions.

If you post links then we can help check

Alyssa Edmonds (aedmonds36) | 9 comments Sorry I forgot to mention I've been using worldcat as my main source. Once I find the book on a buyers site, can I then search it on worldcat and if world cat has it .. use worldcat as the source?
