Can't add a book that is on librarything

I am new to librarything and I don't really get it yet. I'm trying to add a book to my collection that I've received through librarything to review. It's definitely on here... it has a page on here... but I can't work out how to add it. I don't want to search for it in every single source trying to find one it's in. I must be missing something, but, well, I'm missing it and I have no idea what it is.

This is the book's page: https://www.librarything.com/work/25521505

I can't understand how the book isn't at least in overcat when it's already on librarything.

I would really appreciate any advice!

OverCat includes all LIBRARY searches. It does not include Amazon or manual entries. The only member with that work entered it manually. The link to make a manual entry is at the bottom of the left hand side of the Add books page.

BTW: ER and MG books often need to be entered manually because the libraries only buy and enter the books after they have been published.
