<h1>How to Add a Standard Ebooks Book to Goodreads</h1>
|
||||
<p>The Goodreads website (owned by Amazon) is a crowd-sourced repository of information about books. It's useful to have our publications listed there so that our editions can be selected by members to add to their reading lists.</p>
|
||||
<p>In almost all cases, the book will already be in the Goodreads database; we are interested in adding our productions as new <em>editions</em> of those books.</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 1</h2>
|
||||
<p>Go to the Goodreads website (<a href="https://goodreads.com">https://goodreads.com</a>).</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 2</h2>
|
||||
<p>Search for the book you are adding. Try to find the closest match.</p>
|
||||
<p>As an example, I'm going to add my production of "The Rights of Man" by Thomas Paine. See the screenshot below.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-1.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 3</h2>
|
||||
<p> It's important to add your production as a new EDITION, not a new book.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, Goodread has a new UI which makes it harder to locate the list of editions for a work. Follow the screenshots below to get to that list.</p>
|
||||
<p>Click on “More details”.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-2.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 4</h2>
|
||||
<p>Now click on “See all editions”.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-3.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 5</h2>
|
||||
<p>Click on “Add a new edition”.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-4.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 6</h2>
|
||||
<p>You'll see all of the data which has been put in for the particular edition you found in your original search. We're going to overwrite most of this.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-5.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 7</h2>
|
||||
<p>Fill in the details of the Standard Ebooks edition.</p>
|
||||
<p>This <a href="https://github.com/drgrigg/SE_metadata_exporter.git">quick-and-dirty Python utility</a> I wrote will help export the required metadata either as a JSON file (which some tools like Keyboard Maestro can consume and use to automate the filling in of the form), or as a tab-delimited file.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can paste raw HTML into the description field.</p>
|
||||

|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 8</h2>
|
||||
<p><b>Don't forget</b> to select the cover image, which needs to have been downloaded onto your system. I use the thumbnail image in my Calibre directory of SE files.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="../../images/goodreads-7.svg" width="100%"/></p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<h2>Step 9</h2>
|
||||
<p>Click on "Create Book". Shortly afterwards you'll be taken to the <b>Review</b> page for this book. You can then click on the book title to see the new entry in the Goodreads system.</p>
|
||||
<p>Voila! Your edition is now in Goodreads</p>
