A search from your bookshelf option is back. Now while writing a post you can easily find a book from your shelf and attach it to your review, and any other kind of a post. 

Choose a post template: text, photo, quote, link, url, and go to a writing box. Use a search box, and write a book title or author. If you want to check whether a given title is on your Shelf, press Search o my shelf on the right.

In the search on my shelf option, use a book title OR author's name to find a shelved book. 

If the title is on your shelf, you'll be given a book edition straight from your shelf as a search result. The green marker on the left indicates that this book edition is on your shelf. 

Click the book and start writing :) The book review will be attached to the edition on your shelf, and the link to your review will be added to your shelf table view. You can attach 10 books to a single post.

Tips

You can also write a post straight from your Shelf. Hover over the book cover, click +Post and choose a post type. 

Yay!  I just ran into the issue of wanting to switch editions, and could only figure out the most cumbersome work-around.  This is so much better!

The Book pages have been released recently and now we’re happy to present the new features on BookLikes which will improve the process of book shelving and reviewing. Today we’ve added the Other Editions page where you can find a desirable book edition, add it to your bookshelf and write a post straight from the editions page.

To enter the Other Editions page, go to a book page and click the Other Editions headline on the right.

The Other Editions Page allows you to choose which editions to shelve (you can choose more than one) and write a post straight from the other editions page. 

To remove a given edition from your Shelf, go to a Book Page, click the cover and choose "Remove from Shelf", then go to the Other Editions page and choose a desirable book edition. The "Remove from Shelf" option will be also available on the Other Editions pages shortly.

If the edition isn't there, you can add one. To add new edition to a given title click "Add new editions" on the Other Editions page.

Important update: The Other Editions page is excellent for shelving new books or changing the book edition on your shelf but it will not switch the book edition in your review.

However, we're in the middle of works on a tool which will help you to change the edition both on your shelf and in the blog review that got mixed up during the most recent redesign. Sorry for any inconvenience, we'll release it as soon as possible, really really soon.

Tips

1. Tags

To search posts published by other BookLikes members and via Tags, use the search box on the top. Choose Tags in the search results box:

You can add the missing book covers to the books with the green covers. The ability to change the existing cover image will be added along with the book moderators options.
