Discussion: Manually Add A Book

Has anyone found a way to manually add a book. I tried to search for a book and received 0 results and was wondering if there was a way I could just manually add it. I didn't find a way.
I was thinking the same thing. Luckily the book was on my reading next shelf which I imported.
Librarian features haven't been added yet but are coming soon, so says an email to me from one of the founders.
Ok, good because I have a feeling that I will be needing those features a lot. I will be patiently waiting for them because I know they just started up and are dealing with the influx of new users.
I've been adding books manually, and it does work - it's just that about 3/4 of my currently reading here isn't in the database over there.

If they had librarian features I'd happily add these books.
Same e-mail I got from them. They didn't anticipate this much interest, I think! I hope they get a lot more interest, too.
The manual add seems to have just gone walkabout. I'm sure it will be back later.
I hope so. I read 3 books last week that aren't in their database and I'd love to add them.
I popped up Allegiant, which I just finished and I think I added it by clicking a button that said "leaf mark this". Hard to tell, though, and no place to add a review.

In other news, I feel somewhat guilty discussing this leaf mark stuff on book likes, but there is no place for it yet on leaf mark. Do they have a bbs?
I've had to add all of my books.
I noticed you have to get the authors name exactly right.
On one I even needed her middle initial.
Ex..Patricia McKillip wasn't enough. I had to put in Patricia A. McKillip.
Ooo...I got even better results with...patricia a mckillip...no punctuation and all small letters.
To add and review on Leafmarks:

1. Type title in search box.
2. Click on the correct result's "Leafmark this" on the leaf icon.
3. Choose exclusive shelf.
4. Click on it again to add custom shelves.
5. Click on book title. This opens a book page.
6. Scroll down to "My Review."
7. Click the green edit icon to the right. This opens your review window.

I actually find it less cumbersome than here, when I can't find a way to go from adding a book to then reviewing it without having to search for the book again.
Need help?
