Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Part two now associated with your author name. Because more than one author with same name, yours will need to always be typed in as Michael^^Chambers where ^ denotes a blank space.

For Part One, kindle edition given in link, looks like exact same cover. Are you sure it needs an alternate cover edition made? Or did the ebook with isbn 9781476213330 at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... need the alternate cover edition made?

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments We cannot delete or overwrite existing covers. Messes up members who already shelved or rated older editions.

You as author can set which cover you want to be the primary/ default edition that shows on your author page, in searches, etc. (librarians cannot set for you).

The kindle edition cover for ASIN B008CAT9AW is accurate.
For the ebook edition isbn 978147 6213330 I will made you an alternate cover edition showing new cover (last time someone just added the kindle edition versus making the alternate cover).

Then you can go to book page, click on "other editions" to see all editions and bookcovers, click "edit" by the edition/thumbnail/cover you want to display as primary edition, scroll midway down righthand side and select "Set this book as the primary edition for this work"
