Nicholas Soutter | 8 comments It'd like to add "The Water Thief" by Nicholas Lamar Soutter.

It is available in paperback on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Water-Thief-Nic...).

Samples are there too. I can get you a free copy on Paperback or Kindle if you need.

We cannot use Amazon data. We can only use a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. No Amazon, B&N, or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data.

Nicholas Soutter | 8 comments Can you use http://thewaterthief.com?

Yes. However, there isn't much info there (no ISBN, publisher, format, and the cover image is being pulled in from Amazon), so I was only able to create a book record without those items.

Nicholas Soutter | 8 comments Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

The image is stored localy. It links to Amazon.com (so if you click it, you'll go to Amazon), but the image is local (if you click on copy image location, you'll see it's the website)

As to the rest of the info you requested, you can find it at http://thewaterthief.com/availability/

I hope this helps, and THANK YOU for your time! If there's anything else you need, please let me know.

:)

Great. I added the info to the paperback, and added an ebook edition as well.

W. Tinkanesh (wfreedreamertinkanesh) | 2 comments Could you, please, add my book to the GoodReads data?
'Outsider' by W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh. It is available at Amazon Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/OUTSIDER-ebook/...
and at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
I am currently working on the finest details for the Lulu website.
Thank you!

Faye Pettitt (lummi) | 23 comments It seems to already have been added: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

If you want I can add the book cover picture.

W. Tinkanesh (wfreedreamertinkanesh) | 2 comments Thank you for your reply, Faye!
I posted this request before my librarian application was accepted, and consequently went ahead and added my novel. However, this morning I found this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
which is absolutely fine, and does include the book cover picture.
I'm a bit confused about how many Goodreads items it would be for my novel, but I'll learn all the details as I go, as a good librarian should. Have a great weekend!


message 11: by Linda (new)

Linda Lovely | 1 comments I'm trying to add the ebook version of NO WAKE ZONE. The ISBN number is 978-1-60318-486-1. Whenever I attempt this, I get an error message that this ISBN number is taken by Murder New York Style: Fresh Slices. There is a mistake. I checked with my publisher (who also published Murder New York Style), she checked their records. What's more, when I input my ISBN number into Goodreads to do a search, it comes back that there's no such number in Goodreads database. HELP!

Here you go
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

My best guess is you were putting the ISBN 10 in the ISBN 13 slot (it makes a difference in how many characters the computer actually sees)

Do you have the ISBN for the paperback edition? It currently has ISBN 978160 instead of a full ISBN.
