Updating covers > Likes and Comments

Is it possible to update the covers on this book and the two subsequent books in the STRYKER BROTHERS series to just feature the new ebook cover and the discreet paperback covers? Thank you!

Being an authorized GR author and member of the GR Author Program, you should be able to perform these edits yourself. Find out how in this guide.

Authors are able to edit/update the majority of their listings, however
it's worth noting that certain book data cannot be changed, including the book's page count, format, and cover images. It is also not possible to set a book's description as default.

If the new releases (with updated covers) have new ID's (ISBN and/or ASIN) you can add new editions and set these as the default ones. See https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

But if the ID's of the new cover editions have remained the same, you will need to create so-called Alternate Cover Editions (ACE):

Delete Photo

When it comes to editions that have already been published, we can't actually delete or replace the existing cover images. This is because we don't want to delete an image that a member might have on the book they purchased. Instead, you can create an Alternate Cover Edition and set this as the default edition. That way, anyone visiting your author profile or searching for the book will see this edition first.

To add an alternate cover edition of your book, you can navigate your book's page and click on Add an Alternate Cover Edition. This will transfer all information from the existing edition over to the newly created edition, excluding only the publication date and cover. It also removes the ASIN/ISBN from the old edition and adds it to the new edition. A Librarian Note is added to both editions. You will then need to add the new publication date and cover to the new edition, and save.
