Hi Morten,Thanks for the reply. I have added books before, of course, but in all of those instances there was no record of the book at either the Open Library or archive.org.
In this case, the Internet Archive has a record of the book and a copy of the book but no corresponding record in the Open Library. I would have thought that all archive.org records had already been imported into the Open Library hence my doubt about adding a new record.
I think what I was trying to ask, in a rather roundabout way, was: "Why is there no record in the Open Library for this book, since the IA has a record for it?" and "Will a record be created in a future import of archive.org books?" and therefore "Should I add a record of this book to Open Library or not?".

Only question is what the question is - you have never added a book before?
