Hi Librarians,

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

This title was originally published independently and has now been picked up by a larger publisher, thus the new cover. Currently, three editions (original, new paperback, new ebook) currently display on the author page. Can you please combine these so that they all fall under one title (please use the NEW COVER - the darker orange, red, and black one with the building visible through the trees) and still preserve the past reviews and ratings?

Much appreciated!

Thanks,
Ryan Quinn

Looks like someone already did that.

BTW, the cover shown on the book page is the most shelved cover.

All the editions have been combined. The default edition cannot be set manually. It will always be whichever edition currently has been shelved by the most users.

That was fast. Thanks. And yes, the old cover is the most-shelved one. But it will no longer be available starting May 1, so the new cover needs to be the one readers see and identify from now on. Can that be changed?

Thanks,
Ryan

No, we don't change book records based on whether or not a particular edition is in print. As more people read the new edition and review it, it will become the more popular edition and display as the default; as rivka said, this cannot be set manually.

Ok, understood. Thanks for your help!
