I've asked this some time ago, but the answer was No.  Perhaps things have changed.   Asking again today because I am at a loss to find when I added a book that is nowhere to be found in my PC files. purchases over the last 10 years, in my home library, pics of books donated to libraries, etc.

Question is: I want to know when I added a book to EYB, so I can determine if I do have it, and why I might have added it in order to decided whether I should stop looking

I have spent hours looking at all my purchases at every book retailer, which is pretty stupid on my part to waste this time, as  I could have purchsed  this book instead of wondering if I really have already purchsed it.  I've purchased duplicate books in the past and I'd just rather not do that at this time.

Thanks.

Hi Rella - I'm afraid we don't have a record of when you add books to your Bookshelf.

  Aw shucks!  Thanks for your reply.

I'm really wondering what I did wrong to get that book entered that I own it - other than the usual way that I do; that is: when I purchase a book, I go and enter it. 

Surely I must have been looking AT that book sometime in the past, but did enter it 'somehow by mistake' -   I hope that I've not done that to other books I've looked at all the recipes in the book.

Many times I go to a book title to see if I want to buy by looking at the indexed recipes that are to my liking, but I don't believe in any way that I need to enter the book that I own it in order to look to see all the indexed receipes. 

I use EYB this way for many titles that perhaps I'd like to check out at the library, or the library books I've checked out, such as is the case of this one in question.  I must have got confused, is the only thing I can imagine.  The odd thing is that I do remember seeing this book before before as it is all in black and white and printed lithographs, "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen": by Sonia Uvezian.  

There is supposedly a new paperback version, and I'm curious if it is the same black and white or has changed, so I can buy the newer one at a hugely-much lower price. I'm checking on that..

Thanks anyone for listening to my 'mess up.'
