Sometimes a certain book is so popular that it has been published in several languages, in multiple formats, with distinctive illustrations, with diverse annotations, having various introductions, and an assortment of other differences.

Looking for a specific edition of a book can be daunting, but the list of choices can be narrowed down a bit.

While on a book’s page, note that on the right is a heading Other Editions (no) , with a sample of book covers just below. Under these is a link called more editions. Click that to open the Editions page.

Note Format just about center of the third line. Click on the arrow in order to display the drop down menu and choose the format in which you have an interest. Only those books that were published in that particular format will be displayed.

Next to the Format box is a Sort by box which is defaulted to display num ratings. Using the arrow to display the drop down menu, the sort order may be changed.

Additional details for the title may be viewed for all editions by clicking on expand details, located just above the sort by box. Additional details for just one of the editions may be viewed by clicking on more details, located below the book’s title at the left. This is particularly helpful in identifying the language of an edition.

These functions should help focus the search somewhat.

Thanks! This will come in handy! How are you coming across all this great info?

Want to add a link to your review with your comments?

First locate the “viewable�� review, not the one you are able to edit. The easiest way to locate this is while viewing My Books, in the table format (not as just covers), which can be defaulted by choosing that icon on the upper right-hand corner of the screen, below the search box.

Along the right-hand side of this list are choices to “x�� (delete), ”edit��, or “view��. Choose “view��. Your review will appear as others will see it.

In your internet browser bar (usually at the top of the screen), you will see the URL for this particular review. Copy that address and paste it into your comment.

The clickable link will appear.

If you wish to name this link for easier identification (rather than displaying the full, messy address ��, use the (some html is ok), first instruction.

Which would be similar to this, only including the "<" symbol at the beginning and the symbols "<" and (slash) "/" plus "a>" at the end:

href= "http://www.goodreads.com/review/show
/138854130">Almeta’s Review of Siddartha


Which will result in something like this:
Almeta’s Review of Siddartha

By the way this will work for other URLs as well. So that you can link to other comments, or external sites. Like this catalog of instructions:

How Do I...?

Hey thanks, Almeta!

How do I find the URL for a particular comment?

For a particular message, there is an information line just above it. To the left is the "message number" and the "member's name". To the right is the "date and time" that the message was posted.

Click on the "time" link and the URL for the comment will display in your internet browser bar (usually at the top of the screen).

This can be copied and pasted into some other comment box. I use this method to bookmark my chalenge comment links or to direct a person to a previous post.

Hopefully someone can help me, you know when you are looking at a book and there is a little square under the book that says - READ BOOK - I know that you can read this book from the computer, but does anyone know if you can read the book from the ŷ������ App?? I have the app on my Nook, and I wanted to read the book from there instead of my computer, but I can't find it on the app. The book will display, but the little square is not there - ideas anyone???

I have no idea, Linda. My sister, Almeta, is the the more GR savvy one, but she's without a computer until Tues. I will ask her to look at your question.

Okay thank you Debra!!

Linda, Here's the answer that I received about your question:

"This is currently available on the iOS app, but not on the Android app (which is what you'd have on a Nook). Sorry about that! We're hoping to add this functionality to the Android app soon." ~ Emily, ŷ������ Expert Team Lead

Thank you Almeta, maybe this feature will be available in the next update.

Hi, complete noob here (so please forgive my noobiness)- but I love the idea of this group. My question is this: how do people find out what Mr. King is recommending? I'm not sure I'll be able to contribute much on that score, but I sure do appreciate all the info here! Thanks.

Welcome, welcome!

Here are some instructions for linking to thesai-king-recommends bookshelf.

You might also check out the discussion topics:

Sai King's Favorite Books

Sai King's Favorite Authors

Sai King's Favorite Series

Take your time exploring the other discussion threads as well.

A good way to join in is to read and then discuss the group nominated read each month.

Again, welcome to the group.

Welcome, Dan. Almeta gave you the best links for finding the books that have been recommended by King. The first link takes you to my own bookshelf where I've listed over 750 books to choose from. Also, ANYTHING by a SK favorite author can be read, even if I've not added that book to my bookshelf.

We are glad to have you here. Hoping you can join in on some of our group discussions.

Write instructions for Spoilers but without having to remove anything to make it work.

To make the words show (without the html working), substitute the < with &.lt; without the dot in both the opening and closing tag.

Opening tag: <spoiler>
Closing tag: </spoiler>

What is that tread about finding Stephen King mentioned in other books? I found him mentioned twice in Night Film by Marisha Pessl. I don't know if it was mentioned yet!

Check out Stephen King Sightings. You can report the "mentions" there.

Sightings! Thanks for some reason I couldn't remember that.
