Rod Little | 40 comments Hello, I was told in the cover forum that for a new cover, a new edition must be added (?). If this is the case, can you please add this edition with the new cover?

For the book "Tales at Midnight"

Being an authorized GR author and member of the GR Author Program, you should be able to perform these edits yourself.

However, you can't simply exchange the existing cover for a new one, but you will have to create a so-called ACE (=alternate cover edition).


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.
