Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments I've reverted cover changes for the editions of "Myths of Gods" at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I think I'm getting the hang of reading the image uploaded info in the changelog; but, could someone please doublecheck me?

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments I'm seeing an awful lot of image uploads in author's "Finding Poe" as well; I'm not confident reverting without knowing I did first set of changes correctly in the Myths of Gods book.

(Several of author's books already had cover revokes by rivka if I'm reading this correctly:

rivka cover revoke ) so I added librarian note about not overwriting covers.

Banjomike | 5166 comments On this edition of Myths there is a slight complication:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/1...

Ingram upload a cover #18949667 (Jan 2012)
Ingram upload another cover 42477214 (Sept 2012 overwriting the previous one)
The author replaces the cover #51230026 and #51230026 (yesterday)

You reverted her two changes but not the second one by Ingram (Sept 2012) which could have wrongly replaced the (Jan 2012). It is possible that the author was actually putting back the correct cover.

I know, statistically...

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Unlikely was restoring correct images; there's a very recent post talking about brand new covers for Myths of Gods. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Should I take it back to Jan 2012 cover or leave everything alone and wait for Rika to come online and take a look (after my original post, I saw more same author editions where Rivka had reverted image uploads)?


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Librarian notes from Rivka showing up now, so I'm done editing.

Thanks everyone!

It was just possible that the author was fixing a problem. We shouldn't automatically assume that the primary instinct of every author is to change covers when they feel like it and disregard the rules. I know, statistically...

I was just pointing out that reverting the second Ingram change would show you what the original cover of that edition was. You only reverted it to the second cover. Rivka hasn't touched that edition.
