LibraryThing Will Not Recognize a Modern Book

I have been unsuccessful in adding the book, Abel Buell and the History of the Connecticut and Fugio Coinages, onto my library.

The author of the book is Christopher R. McDowell, and the book was published in 2015 (ISBN:978-1-4951-5086-9).

The book is not recognized when I conduct a search on the "Add Books" page of the site.

How do I add this title to my library?

The only other member who has that book used the manual entry option, which suggests that it's hard to find in a library. That's likely your best option.

ETA: I found it using the Library of Congress, using the title. It does not, however, come up on LOC using the ISBN.

WorldCat has no match for that ISBN either so it's unlikely any LT source will have it. You can always add manually in that case

>1 suburbguy: Use Bowker Books in Print. The book is there. You will have to fix the author details as there's a known bug with Last Name, First Name being swapped to First Name, Last name for this source.

Thank you for your assistance!

I also located the book on the Library of Congress database.
