message 1: by Rhiannon (new)

Rhiannon | 241 comments I was wondering if anyone had that status because one of the books i am reading for the challenge is off by like 64 pages and it kind of bugs me. So if any one has this where they can edit the book i was wondering if you could change the last song movie edition tie in by nicholas sparks (mass market paperback) to 464 pages instead of 400 pages please. Thanks you in advance.

Janice  | 709 comments I was wondering if someone with librarian status has the ability to change a setting for a book?

I Served the King of England by Bohumil Hrabal has a its setting listed as Italy. However, from all the reviews and summaries I've read, the story takes place in Czechoslovakia during WW11. I would like to use the book for the virtual vacation task. I'd like to visit Prague, but the info, as of now, doesn't match.

Here's a site that discusses the setting:


Thanks for any input.

I'll add Czechoslovakia for now as it does seem to start there. However I'd appreciate your input after having read it about where exactly it does visit. I'll correct it more fully once I have that data from you. (Please send me a pm about it) Thanks!

Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Just an FYI, anyone can join this group, http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/2...

It is called Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Librarians,but is for any user to post things for those with Librarian status to look at. Not that we can't do it here since we have librarians in the group, but just in case you are in a group with no librarian.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Murakami.

it might be from the persians* they've been entering dates using their own calendar. However without a link I can't go look at it.

*might not have the right group, but it is someone using a different calendar. there has been a lively discussion in the librarians group over it.

eta: I just did a base search.. all the entries I saw looked fine.

Cassandra Could someone fix these books? They're a five book translation of a Chinese classical novel, and all the volumes/books are listed inconsistently.

The Broken Seals: Part One of the Marshes of Mount Liang : A New Translation of the Shuihu Zhuan or Water Margin of Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong is listed as by Shi Nai'an, John Dent-Yong, and Alex Dent-Young.
There is a traditional Chinese book, two French books, and volumes 4 and 5 listed as different editions. Alex Dent-Young is not listed as an author on volumes 4 and 5.

Volume Two is listed as The Tiger Killers: The Marshes of Mount Liang, and is listed as by Luo Guanzhong.

Volume Three is listed as The Gathering Company: Part Three of the Marshes of Mount Liang is listed as by Alex Dent-Young.

Deedee | 2324 comments Hi Meghan and other librarians! I've found another book that needs fixing: The Happy Foreigner I found this one by ISBN code (0140161694). It's a "Virago Modern Classic". It was first published in 1920, but the Virago Modern Classic reprint occurred in 1987. It has 292 pages. There is no cover The Happy Foreigner by Enid Bagnold . Can librarians put covers in goodreads?

Anyhow, any updates on this book by a librarian would be appreciated!

I plan on using this book for Task 10.8 and need to show the flowers on the cover when I post for the points.
However, when I try to enlarge the picture, it comes up with a blank. Can this be remedied?
Thanks!

Bea Sometimes the book I am reading does not show a cover in GR list. Is there a way to add a cover to GR?

The Pony Wife - no cover page shown in GR

Also ISBN 0515116297 (same book) has 452 pp of story and an afterward to p456. There are no pages listed in the GR listing and I did not know if the page number is the total including afterward or not.

Erin (NY) (erin_p) | 653 comments Hi!

Could someone change the following book: Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City (isbn: 978-1-4022-41147) to be separate from Holly's Inbox, since it is the sequel to the 2nd one? (i believe there is an entry for it, but this edition is not listed)

Also: is it possible to change the picture of this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86... to be the same as the kindle edition cover?

Thank you so much!


message 36: by Bea (new)

Bea For spring challenge I decided to check the GR pages against the actual books, and I have found that there is often a real discrepancy. I choose my book editions by the ISBN. Sometimes a book has an appendix or an excerpt from another book by the author; sometimes there is an afterward and notes/references. Are all of these counted in the total pages in GR?

Only librarians can upload covers. If you happen to have the book, you can scan the cover or take a picture of it and then email it to me and I'll do it for you. Or you can point me towards a site with the right cover.

By Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ standards, end material is included as long as the pages are numbered and it isn't advertisement or preview chapters from other books, so I've updated the number of pages according to what you said. Thanks for the info!

End material is included if the pages are numbered, except when said material consists of preview chapters or excerpts from other books. The discrepancy you are encountering is probably due to the fact that many books are imported to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ via Amazon, and the number of pages is not really accurate there.

Feel free to tell me which ones you've seen with the wrong page count! :)

Thanks for both responses. That helps me a lot. I will try to get a picture of the cover to you later. The list of wrong pages is long - most of my books - but I will recheck before sending it with your description in mind.

The issue about Holly's Inbox is finally resolved. It has required a little more work than the other requests, but there you go.

I fixed everything, but one thing:

WorldCat shows that The Obsession has 317 pages rather than 318. It's just one page difference, but if you have an actual copy of the book and are sure it's 318 pages, I'll change it again.
