Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I added this book. The author is a good friend of mine. I actually somehow have three of these on the site. The first one didn't have the description, I had imported it from barnes and noble. Then I decided to manually add this book myself so that the description would be there, but even though I uploaded a photo for the book cover it doesn't show up. I want to know how the other two can be removed and the correct one with a description can have the book cover added. Thanks so much for your help!

What author and title?

Farther On by Karen Gryder

I've made the appropriate changes, including the covers, and combined the editions. The book was referenced by link in the topic.

Thank you so much for your help!

Can someone Please help me add my Novel.
It has not yet been released by I aim to have it published this year.
Can someone help me?
Kindly,
Whitney

Whitney, we'd need an ISBN if you have it, a blurb, a cover, the title, expected pub date etc. If you can provide these, one of the librarians can help you.

Ohk. Thank you. I'll just wait till I have these things. Thank you. :)

Your membership profile doesn't list you as an author. Do you have an author profile yet?

I'm only new and am not sure as to how to get one haha.
Can you help me? I'm a bit like a lost puppy.

I am having trouble adding the newest edition of my book Love's Fate. The first edition is on goodreads, but the link to amazon takes it to the page where the book is no longer available. I have terminated the contract with my first publisher, it is now out of print with them and unavailable through them. I re-released a second edition of this book. The second edition is currently available on Amazon, but I cannot find it on GR. I've tried importing, it hasn't worked. If I manually add the book will it link it to the amazon page for purchase? I want to pay for advertising on this new edition with the link to the appropriate buying sites. The new edition of Love's Fate has an ISBN-13: 978-1468163858, ISBN-10: 146816385X, the ebook has ASIN: B006WGBGKE. Please help! Thanks

I have added a new edition.

Can you please supply:

Publisher Name, Date, Number of pages, and a link to the book cover that is not amazon

Is the description the same? If not then can you post a description also

For Love's Fate the publisher is Createspace pub date Jan 14 2012, 278 pages. The link to the book on createspace is https://www.createspace.com/3755265 does that help? Yes the description is the same

OK, I have added the additional details.

The book that displays first will always be the one with the most reviews which may be the original edition until others read and shelve the newer edition

Can I combine editions?

Thanks for the help btw! :)

All the editions are combined, if you mean merge (remove the old edition) then no, we do not delete books once published especially when shelved and rated since users generally want the edition they bought on their shelves.

YW

Hi, didn't know where to put my request.

Since the change away from the amazon database I guess it's harder to keep track of upcoming releases. I am no librarian so I do not know what info you need to put up a next in a series on GR. There are two books that I cannot find on GR that I would like to add to my TBR pile. The info I have may not be accurate but I go by what fictfact.com tells me....so here it is.

Series already exist on GR:
Vampire Assassin Trilogy series, the second book, according to fictfact is The Duke's Blade (2012). Don't know if the Outcast blade is a possibility but that is what you have as a next book The Outcast Blade. The author's website is not really helpful.

Another series is A Land Fit for Heroes series, the second book, according to fictfact is The Dark Defiles (2013).

There is no rush since they are not out yet. I hope this small info is enough. Thanks

Re 18 - there is mention on the authors website as outcast blade being number two

"He has finished The Outcast Blade, his second book in the sequence, and started work on the third."

Still investigating

Publisher:

http://www.orbitbooks.net/2011/12/09/...

and if you follow the amazon link from Fictfact then it takes you to the Outcast page

I think Fictfact may be wrong

re 18 second part

Authors website also mentions - added

My bad. Thanks!

Okay, so I don't know where to go yet. I tried importing my book from lulu.com and itunes but it fails to import.

Maybe someone could help add my book.

Hi everyone, I am new to the group and I would like to put in a request to add a book I recently published. Here is the website for it: http://www.amazon.com/Beastly-Covenan...

It seems that I can't get my author page running without it. Please and thank you!

Unfortunately Amazon is not a suitable link, we cannot take information from book selling sites.

Please specify ISBN, Title, Publisher, Date Published, Description and format here or link to a non bookselling site.

You will need to provide a link to the image also

The Priestess

Orphaned at a young age, Kira was taken to the Temple of Water & Light in the Kingdom of Pisces and placed under the tender care of the Head Priestess. After being falsely accused of her mentor's death, Kira was exiled torn from all she knows, she carries a forbidden secret which only the Head Priestess should know. She holds the keys that would save her village from the war threatening her home from the East. Quietly, Kira ventures to Dragon's Cave to offer herself as a sacrifice to a dangerous warrior - a beast - in order to save her beloved home.

The Beast

Tobias, Dragon King of a dying race, finds himself thrust into a foreign world and its troubles. Those of his kind before him who came to Valeria were never heard from again. He wants nothing more than to return to the comfortable peace of his world and his own people. As he is about to make the journey home, his warrior's spirit stops him.

How do I provide a link to an image?

Joann, I added the book.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

I used the image from your profile. If this is not correct you can load the correct image to your profile, and it can be changed.

Also, now that the book is added you can claim the author page.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Click the link "Is this you? Let us know." to claim it.

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it.

Can you add a book from a link to librarything?
It's one of several really wonderful Japanese knitting books I have. (It's all charts and pictures. The most difficult thing about it is the title.)

http://www.librarything.com/work/7220...

Title 棒針編み パターンブック300
Author unknown
Tags knitting motifs, knitting
Publication date 2005
Publication 日本ヴォーグ社 (2005), 大型本, 112 pages
ISBN 4529041727 / 9784529041720

300 charted knitting motifs.

Here's another one, it's a different book from the one above, but similar. I suspect they're part of the same series.

http://www.librarything.com/work/7220...

Title 透かし模様300―棒針あみ模様別決定版
Tags Knitting Motifs, Knitting Charts, knitting
Publication date 1991
Publication 日本ヴォーグ社 (1991), 大型本, 127 pages
ISBN 4529020711 / 9784529020718

300 charted knitting motifs.

The description of this book is not for the book title, author or ISBN selected. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...

If all you say is it's a spy novel, the description will be a lot more accurate than what this is.

This one may have been illustrated by David Smee, I can't say, but the author is wrong, it should be attributed to Andre Norton: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30...

Got 31

Done #30. It somehow got combined with a health book. Separated and corrected.

#28 & #29 - I don't think we're supposed to use covers from librarything.com, but I did manage to track down the covers elsewhere so I gave it a go. I wasn't sure what binding to mark them as so I marked that as unknown. I also wasn't exactly sure what went in which box as far as the publication information was concerned so I left those fields blank.

How about looking at the links and letting me know what needs to be corrected. Hopefully we can have completely correct entry levels for them soon.

Hullo loves,
Just self-published through Createspace and was hoping you could add my book;

Title: Eccentricity
Author: Anie Knipping
Publisher: CreateSpace (February 29, 2012)
ISBN-10: 1469920522
ISBN-13: 978-1469920528
LCCN - 2012902976
Related Categories: Psychology / General

Description:

Hullo all! My name is Anie, I'm autistic, and I wrote/illustrated a book on what it's like to live in my head. Visuals of my oversensitive sensory system, the surreal nature of living with Synesthesia, illustrated maps of social/sensory theories I've made to make sense of the world, the history of the people who live in my head, and more.

Temple Grandin says;

"I looked up your book on the internet and it is absolutely gorgeous. Your book is really beautiful and it should be published.

I think it will help people understand the sensory world of a person with autism. You are a really a great artist.

Anybody who is interested in creativity should experience your book.

Sincerely, Temple Grandin, author

P.S. Are you able to import the cover image as well?
Cheers again.

#35 - I think I got it. Would you mind checking it to make sure everything's correct?

Congratulations, by the way!

Oh cheers! Fabulous! I love that you thought to move Temple's name further up so it would be visible in the short form summary.

Your post #34 seems to be two links to the same book? It looks great, but both links go to the 1991 book.

Sigh. I hate it when the copy function doesn't work correctly on my computer. :o(

Anyway, sorry for the confusion. I think this is the correct link for the other book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

(And the other one was: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...)

Thank you, it looks great!

Hello!

Could someone please add my novel? It was published by a small company, Codefore Publishing in January.

Title: Lily and the Golden Lute
Author: Amanda Steinhoff
ISBN-13: 978-0982424964

Can I upload the book cover on my own or do I need to send you a file?

Thank you so very much,
Amanda

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... this is the book, if you are librarian you can add picture, if not, not. You can also claim your author profile and then you can add any information you want.

Also, you are missing format, number of pages, description.

Thank you! I am not a librarian, so how do I go about including a book cover picture? What is the best way to send you a file?

add it in 'other pictures' on your profile. I (or some other librarian) can download it from there.

Photo has been added to my profile. Thanks again!

Also, you are missing format, number of pages, description. Can you provide me those data?
