Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I recently added information about the 2024 edition of "Dishonest Money: Financing the Road to Ruin."

I don't see any option on my author's dashboard to make the 2024 edition the "default" for this book. Any help appreciated.

You need to edit the book record. The option is there.

I don't see an intuitive way to do what I'm trying to do.

I DO see a bunch of entries (some duplicates, one with the wrong cover) that don't need to be listed, but I don't see any way to delete them.

Maybe I should start there: Is it possible to delete some of the records? There really only needs to be three versions: 2009 edition, 2011 and 2024.

Why did you create an alternate cover edition, and then not upload a new cover?

I have deleted another blank record.

If you need help setting the default edition, look in the Help section.

I thought I'd taken care of this months ago. Then, I came back recently and saw the old cover showing in my list of books (clearly, not the correct "default").

Thinking I must have been mistaken about "taking care of it months ago," I started the process over again.

When I entered the correct ISBN, (for the new 2024 edition) it gave me an error. So, turns out, I HAD already entered the new info months ago, it was just an issue of figuring out the "default" problem.

I'm guessing you've heard this once or twice: The navigation / functionality in the admin area could probably be optimized a bit.

Thanks for the delete...better than where I was a day ago. I'll cut my losses here.
