I use the lookup feature and then delete all of the extra info after the title. This process has worked fine for me. I am able to complete the registration process.

All you have to do is fill in the book's title, author, and category yourself. [Some people like to search the Amazon.com database for a more current edition of the same title, so that they can use that ISBN to get a cover picture to display on the bookshelf, but this isn't necessary.] Just a note about the ISBN-lookup: there's a bug that's been causing some problems on the site - odd-looking text in the book title, sometimes an inability to complete the registration process or to make release notes on that book, etc; see this forum post for more details ( http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/9/1246405 ). A fix is being tested on the beta site, but until it goes live I've been recommending that people not use the ISBN "lookup" button at all; instead, just fill in all the fields (including the ISBN number if you like) manually, and hit "register" or "save". -GoryDetails Books just wanna be FREE!
