Jill (jillmac912) | 13 comments I have a question. I am managing an author who is re releasing their book with a publishing company. She wants her old book down and the one that is going to re release up. The author is Leddy Harper and the book is Home No More. The blurb is the same just the cover is different. Can this be done?

Jill (jillmac912) | 13 comments is there any way to do it where the reviews transfer over? Its the same book just different cover

As the author, you will have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how:
