Can somebody point me to where I can learn how to Fix the Google Books Quick Link?
The book in question is:
The Boy Scouts Afloat
https://www.librarything.com/work/1863040/summary
The Google Books Quick Link says "no information" and I get an unformatted white box with a bit of text frame when I click that.
The book exists on Google Books here:
https://books.google.com/books?id=KEhXAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PP6&ots=TpHu9S7bjb&am...

OR, should I be posting this question in Combiners! (I haven't been here in a while)

I think those links are only available when staff does a data sweep, which is infrequent.
What I've taken to doing is adding "Online edition:" in the book description field.
I've recommended a CK box for this data, but there was no response.
You could also add the link in your comments or private comments field in your catalog.

Quick links won't work for this title no matter what. It doesn't have an ISBN in the LT data. The book was published in 1912...so you are out of luck. There's a known bug with the "by title" QL URLs here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/105594
There's also a bug report about Google Books and ISBNs: https://www.librarything.com/topic/251262
The other half of this seems to be a (new) bug. The lightbox ("unformatted white box with a bit of text frame") doesn't display correctly. There should be a close option in that lightbox.
And lastly, I'm pretty sure the Disambiguation Notice is not the proper place for embedding the Google Books reader.
