If you don't have a spreadsheet, you can add books by title. Author's Toolbox searches Google Books, Hardcover, Apple Books and Open Library and lets you pick the right result.

Not every book is in these catalogues, and a result may not be an exact match, so check what you pick.

## Add several books at once

1. Go to **Book Library** and click **Add New Book**.
2. Choose **Bulk Search by Title**.
3. On the **Bulk search** tab, choose the pen name under **Published under**.
4. In **Titles**, enter one title per line. If all your titles are on one line, separate them with commas. You can search up to 500 titles at a time, and repeated titles are only searched once.
5. Click **Search for these titles**.
6. Review the list, then click **Next: confirm** and pick the right result for each book. You can also skip any book, or add it with just its title.

## Add a single book

1. In **Bulk Search by Title**, open the **Find one** tab.
2. Choose the pen name under **Published under** and type the **Book title**.
3. Click **Search**.
4. Click **This one** on the right result. The book form opens with the details filled in, ready for you to check and save.

If nothing matches, click **No match, add it myself** to open the book form with just the title and pen name filled in.

## Fill in an existing book

You can also search while editing a book. At the top of the **Details** tab, use **Find your book by title**. Picking a result only fills in fields that are still blank, so nothing you've already typed is overwritten.

## Tips

- A search needs a pen name. If you haven't added one yet, you'll be asked to save your author name first. It's saved to your pen names in Settings.
- If nothing matches with your author name, you'll see results for the title alone. Check the author on each one before picking it.
- If a search finds nothing, try another spelling.
