I've reverted back to my default of amazon! I tried to enter a photo book of the Netherlands that my husband just brought back from a trip ... I tried half a dozen source options, thinking one of the European-based sources would have it, no luck :( Tim – I’m impressed with the variety in your cataloging sources!

I tried *Tan Lines* by J. J. Salem, the novel I'm reading now ... no luck at the 3 universities I added or the Library of Congress. I found it at amazon and the "Boston Metro Library Network". I'll probably end up going back to amazon as default, but I'll experiment for a while! kegsoccer – I’ll report back in a couple weeks and let you all know how my new method is working.

I have 1118 Amazon, and one manual entry. I figured since the default was working so well, there was no need to try the others. Lol I used all amazon too! I have 1118 Amazon, and one manual entry.
