Michael C. Cordell (socalvillaguy) | 6 comments This isn't a new book, but James Patterson's "16th Seduction" is missing from Goodreads. The only two entries are a preview of the book and the book as part of a collection. The actual book itself, with all of its editions, isn't listed.

ASIN: B01LXW2CGJ
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0316553452

Martina  (martina_s_hlavou_v_knihach) | 15132 comments There are 51 editions of said book already in the database: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
(ISBN 978-0316553452 and ASIN B01LXW2CGJ included)

If you're asking us to add a different edition, you're gonna have to be a little bit more specific.

Please read How to request a book to be added to Goodreads and then provide all the information that we need (including a webpage showing the cover so we can see which edition you're talking about - See the list of acceptable sources here: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...) Thanks.

Michael C. Cordell (socalvillaguy) | 6 comments This is strange, since I searched multiple times in multiple ways for this book. Like I wrote, only three hits came up, which I also thought was strange, considering how all the other searches for Patterson's books come up.

I just executed the search again and got the same result. I've been on Goodreads forever, but I've never had this problem before.

I'm going to chalk this up to a search engine anomaly (though I am curious to know how you found it).

Thanks for your help.

Closing thread.

If you can't find a book when entering an author or title into the search engine search by ISBN/ASIN - that usually works better (the chance of finding a specific edition is higher considering every book has - or should have - a unique ISBN/ASIN number)

Michael C. Cordell (socalvillaguy) | 6 comments Thanks, Martina. I searched all ways, with no luck. The odd part is I've had no trouble searching for other books in this series. Also, as I noted, there were 3 hits -- all correct in their own way, but not the listing I was looking for (the primary one).

Chalking it up to an anomaly, nothing more.

Thanks again.
