I can’t find my book. Can I add it without a catalog match?

First, try searching by ISBN, author, or a shorter version of the title. An edition may appear with a different cover or language.

If the book is part of an import and none of the matches fit, review lets you add it without a catalog book. The app then uses the title and authors supplied by the source. This option is part of importing; Search does not have a general manual book entry form.

Step by step

1. During import review, open the option to check or change the book.
2. Search for the correct match. If you cannot find one, choose Add without a catalog book.
3. Check the reading status, accept the item, and confirm the import.
