Works like a charm
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

It looks great!Scott wrote:The software is supposed to prevent a book from being submitted with the same exact title/subtitle/author combination. Thus in theory one should be more correct than the other. So report which ever one you think is the less preferred spelling/combination and then enter the preferred one as the "good book". The alternative spelling will be saved so that if one enters it in the future it will automatically connected to the preferred version.

Update: I have adjusted the 'custom sort' page so that, when one clicks to sort by author name or book title, one is presented with a list of letters. The way it was before I felt was relatively useless unless the author or title happened to start with an A. When someone selects to sort by author or title, I also have tossed in the search box too because that seems like a situation in which one might find the search box more useful. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Alternatively, I could at least remove any reference to it as being playfully titled the 'trash bin' and just call it the 'not interested shelf'. I find the latter boring but at least would lessen the feeling of publicly admonishing a book that one simply is not interested in reading.

Thanks!
I've found that once in a while I have to refresh the page for a book to show up.
That may be the issue

It'll change when it updates
