Please merge the editions of https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

leave only editions with prizes on cover, thanks!

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as readers want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, when a cover is updated, we create an alternate-cover edition (ACE), as you did.
We only merge editions in case they are true duplicates, i.e., same cover and same ASIN (for Kindle) or ISBN (for other editions).

Edit: on second inspection I did find some empty editions you may have created inadvertently and merged them. I also found an edition which I think is an incorrect ACE: The Noble Adventures of Beryl and Carol. I'm saying it is incorrect because Amazon still has the old cover for this ISBN:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/173...
I should undo this ACE, unless you think there is a very good reason not to.

Yes please go ahead. thanks

I undid that ACE.

There are now nine editions, which seems correct. For Kindle, hardcover, and paperback, we each have three editions: First, we have the original with an old ASIN/ISBN and an old cover, which wasn't changed. The second edition is a new ASIN/ISBN with the old cover. That second edition was made an ACE to a new edition with a new ASIN/ISBN and a new cover.

OK thanks. is it possible to make the new cover the default , so people see my awards?

As the author you can set the default edition. Follow these instructions.

HI David

I did follow those, and the copy I want is set as default, but when I search for the book another edition comes up

thanks for help
