I just signed up for this and imported my GoodReads csv export. the csv has 90ish rows and I was only able to import 60ish rows.

I get that Open Library doesn't have as much data as GoodReads, but I wish it would show me the data it couldn't import so I could add it manually to Open Library's data store.

Nevertheless, I love the idea and I'll be opening bug reports and maybe code contributions if something looks easy enough.

bbkane, this is a great idea (identifying which books didn't import). If you'd be so kind as to help, please open a feature request for this!

If you tag @tabshaikh who helped implement the importer and me @mekarpeles we can make sure it gets triaged and tagged correctly this week :)
