Can't Add Book I Won in Early Reviewers

I won "Existential Smut 1: Youthful Indiscretions" from the February 2023 Early Reviewers batch. The work page is there, but when I click "Add" I'm sent to the Add Books page and the book isn't there. I can't review the book until I add it to my library. Help!

Existential Smut 1, by Hapax Legomenon

Add it manually. It also appears that some people used Amazon.com as their source.

>1 wdwilson3: Unfortunately, the "Add+" button on the work page does not always work, especially for ER books that are either too new or too obscure.

If you cannot use the button, you will need to add the book on the Add books page: https://www.librarything.com/addbooks. Here you can choose a search database, and then search by Title, Author, ISBN or ASIN (in the case of Kindle books). When the book pops up in your search results, just click on it to add it to your catalog.

If you are not able to find the book through any search on the Add books page, you can add it manually by clicking on the "Add manually" link under "Other options." This will bring you to the new book entry page ( https://www.librarything.com/addnew.php ), where you can enter the bibliographic information by hand.

I hope this helps. Closing as not a bug.

>3 AbigailAdams26: I wonder if an explanation about all that should not be added prominently somewhere on the ER pages (or in the notification that you won or something)...

>4 AnnieMod:

That's a really good idea. It seems that this is an issue that arises with every ER batch.
