Does each book need to be in a seperate folder within the import folder?\r\n\r\n2. Is there a naming convention for the book? (e.g. \"author - title\", \"title - author\" etc.) so LL understands what it is? Or does LL go away and do a Goodreads/Googlebooks  search or something?\r\n \r\nThanks :)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/DobyTang/LazyLibrarian/issues/comments/176795079","html_url":"https://github.com/DobyTang/LazyLibrarian/issues/271#issuecomment-176795079","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/DobyTang/LazyLibrarian/issues/271","id":176795079,"user":{"login":"ayefly","id":3395108,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3395108?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly","html_url":"https://github.com/ayefly","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ayefly/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-29T14:55:26Z","updated_at":"2016-01-29T14:55:26Z","body":"lol, I did that, and made the mistake of having \"add new books as wanted\" selected in settings.  I then had over 20000 books in the wanted section!  What I do now when adding a new author is disable add new as wanted, add new author, re-enable add new as wanted, then go back and add which books I want.  \r\n\r\nThat way it automatically add doesnt add EVERY book, but new ones since I added them.  \r\n\r\nDoes anyone know if Goodreads lists the authors publications more detailed?  for example, right now LL shows everything with their name.  It would be nice to be able to select just first edition new book vs paperback vs compilation/readers digest version.  in Headphones you can sort out official album releases vs compilations and such.(actually made finding Alice in Chains Unplugged hard, since it didnt consider it an official album) I was wondering if goodreads provides enough sorting to do the same."}}
