Andrew d’Entremont Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have been slowly adding all my hardcover books into inventory, and as of the latest content update it seems like all the titles now exist in CB as well. Many of the books I've added did not exist in CB so I have been creating quite a few new titles and submitting them along with high-res cover scans, and while some of the cover scans appear in my collection report, most of them do not. I'm just wondering what the delay in adding the covers is if the new titles I am submitting are accepted. And along those same lines, when I submit new book titles I try to include a description from a source like Good Reads or from the publisher, but I am not sure if these descriptions are making the final cut. Do title descriptions need to be submitted by email, or are the accepted if you're submitting a brand new title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Any submission we process for a user will also include a cover if sent by the user. Covers are processed separately and each need to be reviewed. If you notice covers you've sent in aren't showing up; feel free to resend the submission. Title descriptions are not processed as part of your submissions. They need to be emailed and approved by the editorial team. NOTE: We get hundreds (maybe thousands) of submission daily so there can be delay at times processing users submissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew d’Entremont Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 So, just to be clear, even it it's a brand new title that has been created, the description does not get sent as part of the submission process? With regards to emailing the description, what format would you like the email to come in? Would you like a specific subject line for easier identification? Thanks.

Mark J. Castaneda Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yes no particular format. Keep the description brief. Please be sure to cite your source - whether its written by yourself or the publisher Our editorial team will review it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall J. Paske Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I suggested in an email once that the Description field should be made read-only or labeled in some way if it is ignored during the normal submission process. I wasted time writing a number of descriptions before learning that they went nowhere and then got wiped out when I did a content update. I still think this is a valid suggestion.

Andrew d’Entremont Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 I feel like if you have enough knowledge to create a new title then chances are you’ll be able to enter an accurate description. It would be nice if you could include the description when submitting a brand new title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
