Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Why can this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... not be referenced by its Author "D. H. Buchanan" or by its Title "At The Market" or its c.1967 ISBN 070624941 ?

It needs to be fixed.

As I see all those data listed on the page, could you be more specific about the issue?

Search for the book by any of its criteria for search.

The link is provided only as a reference. It is not the complaint.

i found it searching At the market buchanan - but it was about 9 books down the list...

the GR search and its general horrible-ness is well known and now something that a GR librarian can fix

I LOOK 10 PAGES INTO Search:
https://www.goodreads.com/search?page...

NOT FOUND.
Not found by ISBN.
Not found in author's book listing.

When trying to add book/author in comments.
No to Book.
Author comes up D.H. Buchanan

The listing for the author is partial I believe. There appear to be two D.H. Buchanan.

Probably right. This is a lost cause.

As ISBN10 should be 10 digits, I pre-fixed it with 0 ("the 9-digit SBN code can be converted to a 10-digit ISBN by prefixing it with a zero digit '0': https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter...) and it appears in the search for 0070624941. It also comes up in the add book/author in comments for me (if I search for D.H. Buchanan only, it's in the 2nd set of results): At the Market

Excellent. Thank you for that. I have also now learnt about the 0 pre-fix, and I am grateful for that as well. Thank you.
