message 1: by Willem M. (new)

Willem M. (auverquerque) please add cover from publisher's site (e-book cover is identical with paper version, which i own a copy of) to book WAT WIL DE KOE / koos van zomeren http://www.arbeiderspers.nl/web/Auteu...


message 2: by Mohammed (new)

Mohammed Alshanakhnakh (abushaheed) | 48 comments Done.

Next time, please put a link to the book you want to be edited.


message 3: by Devin (new)

Devin Lind (cdlind) | 32 comments NB: That site is also a bookseller, and we're not allowed to use bookseller data.


message 4: by Mohammed (new)

Mohammed Alshanakhnakh (abushaheed) | 48 comments You're right Devin, I took Willem's word for it.

I have undone the change.

Willem, please provide the book cover from a non-bookseller site, if you can.

Banjomike | 5166 comments I've added a 'safe' cover.

i confirm again this is the publsher's own site. our publishers happen to sell directly from their sites, isn't that common in other countries then? the only thing you can do now is contact them for confirmation and approval. i did my best.

Willem M. (auverquerque) i do not understand why you consider a picture from someone's personal blog safer than one from the publisher's site. the source of these bloggers' cover pics may be unsafe!

As Willem says, that site is the publisher site, and an acceptable source. Publishers are good sources of data even if they sell their books too.

Max Zimmer (maxxxer) | 2 comments Please add the new cover for my book Journey (15748088-journey). The new cover image is available from my site www.maxzimmer.wordpress.com on the "Welcome" page.

I own the image. The old cover (black and gold) is no longer in print.

I hope I've done this right. Thank you.
Max Zimmer

Banjomike. Wow. Amazing. Thank you so much.

It can be found in the author’s page, under “fiction works”: http://www.alberto.manguel.com/
And since we’re at it, this edition should be merged with another one, bearing in mind they’re identical editions:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Cover added, other edition combined with correct author. I can only see one Spanish edition. Which is the duplicate.

Both links refer to a Spanish edition, though only one specifies that. Awkwardly, both have a synopsis in French."


I've kept the one with the most info/ISBNs, added the cover & Spanish blurb, merged the other one.

I added the first cover. The second book you linked did not match the ISBN you gave. The ISBN 978-84-08-00888-0 did not exist in our database, so I have added it here with the cover:

AbeBooks cannot be used as a source for covers or other data; they are a bookseller. Try to find covers on author sites, publisher sites, WorldCat.


message 32: by J. (new)

J. (balcacer) | 169 comments Yes I understand, my point is that ISBN I gave was good. I did put a photo of blogs to so that it can be uploaded. I don't have here a scanner.
You people are just outstanding.

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
We cannot use AbeBooks to confirm the ISBN either. Also, book resellers like that one frequently have incorrect covers, so it wouldn't really be much proof even if we could use it.

I found this one, can you please add cover? Thanks in advance.

I was able to find the info on the publisher site and added it (see msg 31) based on that.

This book isn't available at the Kobo store as far as I can tell. I searched for it by ISBN, title and your name on the Kobo site itself and it doesn't come up.
