Re: [books_users] Book not showing up in quickfill

I can't imagine why it isn't finding it on Amazon with Quickfill, but on my system, it just searches and searches without returning anything. Chris may be able to figure that out. However, if you go to preferences and change the default search target to the Library of Congress, it pulls it up right away. There's no cover graphic, but that is often the case. On the other hand, I have had to hand enter numerous books which were too old to have ISBN identification. . .

I have the book 'Illusive - Contemporary Illustration And Its Context'. I've tried many different 
variations on the title and have entered the isbn 10 and 13 numbers, but nothing ever shows 
up in Quickfill. It's only frustrating since I know for a fact that's it's on Amazons website. If it 
was a completely obscure book, then I'd understand.

Context/dp/3899550854/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222874253&sr=8-2

The information for the books comes from Amazon right? What can I do (other than copying 
and pasting all the information)?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. I changed the search to Library of Congress and it came up fine. It wasn't hard to find a cover image then. It's weird it won't show up in Amazon. Ah...
