This request does not involve the adding of new books/new editions to the Goodreads database, so it is in the wrong folder..See Where should I put my request? (folder overview)
Please MOVE your topic to the correct folder Serieses!by clicking the (EDIT) button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).
With regard to the cover changes:
It is against Goodreads policy to replace existing covers.
Do the editions with the new covers also have new ID's (ISBN a/o ASIN)?
- Create new editions and set these as default
go to the existing edition, click the button at the top and select "add a new edition
Have the new cover editions kept their original ID?
- Create so-called Alternate Cover Editions instead and set these as default.
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.

Also, most of the covers have changed and I can't add the new ones.
