Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I tried creating a new edition with only the new and lighter cover image and the required data then merging them, thinking that the new cover would show up, but it does not change the image on the original book entry. I don't want to delete the original book entry. I only want to change its cover then delete the newer edition that was only created to try and get the lighter cover to show. Hope this makes sense.

Fixed.

Normally we don't change book covers, but since this was just a higher quality/clearer image I swapped it out. Might take a bit for it to show up on your author page (those are heavily cached).

Deleted the second edition. On Goodreads, merging means deleting one edition and takes a Librarian to do.

Amanda,

I appreciate what you have done. It is showing up and I am breathing a big sign of relief thanks to YOU!

Gratefully,
Joy

Thank you!!

I also am in need of deletion of my old cover for "Dance of Souls" so I can update it with a new one. I understand both will remain on Goodreads but I would like to get the new one up.

Current Goodreads edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

New edition available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1466...

Thank you so much.

Hi, would it be possible for someone to add my book cover to my book (someone else added the book and didn't add the cover)? Thanks!

Paula, you are amazing. Thank you!

*sigh* 17 asked and answered in one of the other four threads where your request was posted.

A Most Wanted Man ebook/nook version has wrong cover art - should be read same as for kindle ... amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Most-Wanted-Man...

re 19, there are two ebook editions. i assume you mean this one?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

do you own one with that ISBN (9781439123218)? if so, it has likely been re-released with a new cover, in which case we do NOT change old covers. we make alternate cover editions instead. if you can confirm the ISBN of the edition you have, i can make an alternate cover edition for you.

There are two kindle editions for Samantha Young's Fall from India Place, released last tuesday.

Kindle edition cover by NAL is correct, but Kindle edition cover by Piatkus (ASIN B00GFHFYQ2) is not. It should be the same one as the Piatkus paperback.

Incorrect cover to change:

Piatkus's cover (paperback and kindle):

To confirm, Amazon data:

Thank you!

re 21, google cache agrees. changed.

That is the ISBN associated with it. It shows 2008 Scribner release. I think the image is from the hardcover.

re 23, here is your ACE: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Could someone please update the cover image for Nefertiti's Heart

to this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BFTMRBA

It's not a huge change, but now has the series title and makes the font consistent with others in the series.

Thank you.

re 25, we can't update/delete covers, as it's against Goodreads policy (because users like to shelve the edition that matches the one they own). But we can make alternate cover editions (ACEs), and you as the author can set the new cover as the default edition. I have created an ACE for your book here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

To set it as the default edition, follow the instructions here:

The cover for the Kindle version of P.D. James' Death Comes to Pemberley should be changed to match the paperback version. I suppose that when the book was re-issued with a new cover, the Kindle version was updated as well. For reference, the ASIN number is: B0060AY6FO

re 27, alternate cover edition created here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Here;s the deal, I'm an idiot. I didn't know you couldn't delete the covers afterwards and I just wanted to SEE what it looked like up on goodreads. The book isn't even published yet. Nothing about it is even finished. Could you take it down? Its my book cover and book.

The Culprits by Kristin DeVille

Normally I wouldn't be such an idiot, but I put a cover i made up on my book thats not even finished to see what it would look like. I would like it taken down. Nothing is finished or done with it yet. If you could please take it down i'[d be so grateful!
