Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

The UK Audible edition of Nineteen Eighty-Three is missing from the site.

Thanks to the terrible decision that Librarians can’t add Audible editions anymore, the terrible oversight that the Goodreads bot refuses to auto-import any Audible edition that isn’t from the US, and the fact that Goodreads Staff are now refusing to create Audible editions as well even though they were fine with doing so as recently as last year, I have been told by Jaclyn that the only current options for getting non-US Audible editions on the site are either to set their format as Audiobook (even though that is incorrect) or to not add them at all.

So, in the interest of not telling non-American Audible listeners to go kick rocks like Goodreads has done so far, here is the UK Audible edition. It is probably best to put in the Librarian notes and the Editions field that even if the Format field says Audiobook, it is the Audible edition.

TITLE: Nineteen Eighty Three
AUTHOR: David Peace
NARRATOR: Saul Reichlin
ASIN: B0042AJOPQ
PUBLISHER: Audible Studios
DATE PUBLISHED: September 7, 2010
NUMBER OF PAGES: 16
FORMAT: Audiobook
DESCRIPTION:

The fourth and Final Instalment in the Red Riding Quartet. With Nineteen Eighty Three, David Peace completes the Red Riding Quartet, an astonishing, sustained epic. Three intertwining storylines see the Quartet’s central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice come to a head.

BJ, the rent boy from 1974; the lawyer Big John Piggott, who’s as near as you get to a hero in Peace’s world; and Maurice Jobson, the senior cop whose career of corruption and brutality has set all this in motion, find themselves on a collision course that can only end in a terrible vengeance.

EDITION LANGUAGE: English

Thanks for looking out, but respectfully, I know how the forum works and that it can take a while for a request to get completed. You don't need to post this on all of my threads.

The one you linked is the US Audible edition, ASIN B00429KAZA. The one described in my OP is the Audible edition for the UK and has a completely different ASIN (B0042AJOPQ). Re-opening the thread since B0042AJOPQ has not yet been added to the site.

And the Amazon link you posted in #1 goes to 1980 not 1983 (the cover image link is 1983 though).

Thank you very much for adding it! (Although both Amazon links in my OP go to the cover art and Amazon UK page for Nineteen Eighty Three, so I'm not sure how you're getting to Nineteen Eighty. Maybe because the 1983 Audible is mistakenly listed as an edition of 1980 on Amazon?)
