About adding cover: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...
However, if this is cover of a new edition, you may add new edition with new cover. If it is just alternate cover of the same edition, see about adding alternate covers: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/8...
Have current covers ever existed? How did they get on Goodreads?
The current covers on Goodreads are covers from first printings. The updated covers are from second printings and are the current, accurate covers that a customer will receive if the books are ordered from the publisher or online retailers, including Goodreads owner, Amazon.com. Just follow the links to Amazon.com to see the current covers of these books. Therefore, these books do not represent new editions: the ISBNs are the same. They are second printings with updated/revised/new covers, which is permissible (and fairly common) in the industry. Therefore, whatever your rules may be regarding book covers, the covers represented on the publisher's website and on Amazon.com should be the covers used to depict the books on Goodreads. Thank you.Also, thank you for correcting the data/covers of the other three. All information is correct.

Note: On all previously listed books, the current cover image of each book is either missing or is slightly different than what Goodreads displays. The book data on selected books might need updating as well. For Ghost Sign, please add missing cover and authors. For Corazon y Una Lengua Peregrina, please add missing cover, update book description, and only capitalize "Corazon" as the convention in Spanish is to capitalize only the first word of a title.
Finally ...
Prompts! a Spontaneous Anthology https://39westpress.com/prompts
On Prompts!, please capitalize the "a" in the subtitle, making it "Prompts! A Spontaneous Anthology." Also, editor J D Tulloch is this author: j.d. tulloch. Please correct the record accordingly.
Thank you very much for your assistance. We greatly appreciate your efforts.
