I tried posting a review about a month ago, following the e-mailed instructions, and couldn’t get a picture of the jacket for my book. This time, I did the kid’s picture book Monster, don’t eat me!, and again the book jacket didn’t come up. Also, the link to the catalog didn’t work. But just now from home I tried it on my mac, and found that all the html code was visible. Through careful scrutiny, I found that one of the isbn numbers I typed was missing a numeral, and that solved the book jacket problem. Then I tried the catalog link from the book below me, which I’d copied to make my review, and discovered that it didn’t work either. The book below it did, though, and when I altered my code to look like it (either adding or removing a + sign–I forget which), voila! I have a fully functional review!!

Way to be proactive with the HTML code! I’m impressed. Most people wouldn’t have thought to do that (or they’d have thought that it was a really scary idea). Kudos to you!

Thanks, Catherine! In one of my library school classes I made a web page, and it was there I learned the joy of cutting, pasting, and simple editing of HTML.
