What “Found” means

When you scan a barcode or enter an ISBN, the most common result is Found — the volume is in our catalog and ready to add.

What you’ll see

A result card slides up from the bottom of the screen showing:

  • Cover art
  • Title and volume number (e.g. “Chainsaw Man, Vol. 5”)
  • Author
  • Series
  • Publisher
  • ISBN
  • MSRP (the publisher’s suggested retail price)
  • Page count and release date (if we have them)

Adding it to your collection

You have two options:

  • Add to Collection — Marks it as a volume you own. This is the default action for most scans.
  • Add to Wishlist — Marks it as something you want but don’t own yet. Great for volumes you’re tracking but haven’t bought.

After tapping either, you can also set:

  • Condition — Mint, Good, Fair, or Poor. Affects collection value calculations (PRO).
  • Quantity — If you somehow ended up with multiple copies.
  • Custom value — Override the default MSRP-based value (PRO).

What happens when you add it

The volume:

  • Appears immediately in your Library (under Owned or Wishlist depending on your choice).
  • Counts toward your collection stats and any relevant achievements.
  • Syncs to your account so it’s available on every device you sign in to.
  • Gets included in series-level tracking — if it’s part of a series, we’ll show you which volumes you have and which are missing.

Already in your collection?

If you scan a volume you already own, you’ll see a duplicate notice instead of the standard Found card. See Scanning duplicate ISBNs for what to do.

The cover art looks wrong

Sometimes the cover image we show is from a different printing or edition than the one on your shelf — different colors, different art. We try to use the most common edition, but variants exist.

If the cover is significantly off, please contact support and let us know the ISBN — we can update our catalog.

What if the data is wrong?

Same — let us know. We continuously improve catalog accuracy, especially for older or obscure releases.
