To add a link .... click on the add book/author link directly above the comment box in which you are typing.

You'll get a pop-up window. Enter the book title and click search

Select the correct book, and click ADD. The default setting is for a link, but you can choose to post the COVER instead by clicking that choice at the bottom of the pop-up window.

Also, if you want a particular edition, click on the other editions link (just under the ADD button), and you'll get all the editions of that book. If your book has many editions, you'll see a page count at the bottom ... for example:
previous 1 2 3 4 5....99 100 next

If you're looking for a specific edition you'll want to explore before clicking on one of them.

Hope that was helpful.

Thank you that was
I appreciate it Book Concierge

I finished!

WTG, Sheila!
