Hi all, I frequently post what I'm reading or my reviews in my groups, however, about half the time the "add book/author" link doesn't work. I type in the name of the book (knowing that the author is on GR) and the response is that this book is not on GR.... yes it is and so is the author! Is GR paying attention to this problem yet?

It takes awhile for us to index the new author/book, and search won't find it until we do. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Is the lack of cover image due to the same issue? Or just happens when you link to a book that has an(a) ASIN on Amazon but not an ISBN?

Thanks Patrick! Your question brought me the answer.
