Can't find recently published title through ISBN or ASIN

Hello all,

I was trying to add the first issue of the Men's Adventure Quarterly:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T4DG9HK/

But searching by title, ISBN, or ASIN it doesn't show up.

Any solutions? I'd rather not manually add this if I don't have to...

What sources were you using when you searched on the Add Books page?

Based on how new it is, I doubt anyone other than Amazon will have it, though if it is a magazine as it appears, you might have to enter it manually.

The fact that you can’t find a book in the source you’re using (which is?) is not a bug on LT’s part.

That looks like a a magazine, in which case it will not have an ISBN. Also, sources will be rare if there are any at all. That said, shouldn't Amazon give you results by ASIN since it obviously has it according to the link in OP? If ASIN doesn't work there, try title and/or author search

>4 SandraArdnas: "That looks like a a magazine, in which case it will not have an ISBN."

This had not been entirely correct for at least a decade. While traditional magazines do not have ISBNs even now, small press ones, self-published ones and the pure literary journals might and often do.

This one does have an ISBN for example (9798583572922).
