I’m trying to find Flavor by Ottolenghi in the database to add to my bookshelf, but nothing is coming up. I know it’s the book selection for Eat Your Books Facebook group for November, but is it not added to the website yet? Or am I doing something wrong? My ISBN is978-0-399-58175-5

I think I got it now. Apparently I had to do it on the computer instead of my phone for some reason. Why is this font so small?

The issue isn't the font size, it is that we have indexd the UK edition of the book which is spelled Flavour. So if you search by Flavor you get zero results. Because Flavor is such a popular book, I have changed the book title to Ottolenghi Flavour / Flavor which means any Flavor search will now show the book. Though if you want to add your own US or Canadian edition to your Bookshelf follow the steps below.


There are a few solutions if a book you think should definitely be in the EYB Library does not show up.


1. Search by author name and when you see the edition (in this case spelled slightly differently) click the links icon which will show your edition as linked to it. Click that ISBN then add that edition to your Bookshelf.


2. Or click the book title that comes up and on the Details tab you see all linked editions listed. Again click the edition you own to add it to your Bookshelf.


3. Or if an author search also does not show your book, enter the ISBN in Import Books, accessed from the menu under My Bookshelf (this feature is only available to Premium members). If your edition is in the Library it gets added to your Bookshelf immediately. If it is not yet in the Library we retrieve the book data from Amazon and add it to your Bookshelf and the Library. If Amazon does not have the book listed then it cannot be added at this time.

The font size problem was while typing my message in the forums. It’s extremely tiny.
I searched for Flavor, Flavour, the authors name, and the ISBN number on my phone, and nothing came up. I think when I bought the book, I tried to use import. It didn’t work from my phone, but I was able to import from my computer. When I searched from my computer by author’s name, the British version did come up, but not the American. Importing brought the American.
