Hi, your authors name is: Steve^^^^^^Martin. Please use it when adding books in feature. The book has been added to your profile.
Covers from Amazon are NOT allowed. You can upload picture of it or picture from the publishers, or your personal webpage.
Cheers.
Edit: On the note I removed the cover from your latest book since it was obviously from Amazon and it is owned by Amazon.
Steve, I found added the cover for Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy from WorldCat - a library source we can use. Could not find one for "Going Down". Is this a Kindle edition? Do you have a description or publisher/date for it? It seems to be missing a lot of info on the entry.
HiThanks of adding "Easy Peasy...". While all other books are via a publisher, "Going Down" is a self-published ebook. This is why I want to advertise but would like to do that with the front cover.
Steve
Upload a picture of the cover to your profile, and a librarian will take care of it. While you're at it, please supply the following so that the book data can be updated:
Publisher
Date of publication
Description
This is a Kindle, correct?
HiThanks for your help with this. I've uploaded the picture for "Going Down" to my profil. The info you requested is as follows:
Publisher: Amazon Kindle
Date of Publication: January 2012
Description: Going Down by Steve Martin
This novel follows a young man's journey into the dark world of a tough young offender institution as he is sentenced to two years' imprisonment. It is a savage world in which he will either sink or swim.
For those who sink, the consequences are dire but - for those who learn to swim - the damage is far greater!
This novel will take you into a world that is seldom seen. Written by an author who spent several years in a young offenders' prison, the novel has the power of an accurately portrayed and vividly displayed world of violence, nihilism, dark humour and despair.
Print Length: 201 pages
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services
Hi AgainSorry to be a nuisance, but I've just realised one of my books is missing from my author profile. The details are:
Title: The Boys' Book of Advanture
Author: Steve Martin (Steve^^^^^^Martin)
Publisher: Buster Books
Publication Date: January 7, 2010
PS The publisher publishes some of my books under different titles in the USA e.g. "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy" has a different name in America. Should I inform you when this happens so the books can be shown separately.
Regards
Steve Martin
The Boys' Book of Adventure is already on the site: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...Different editions of books are combined even when they have different titles.
I updated the record for Going Down using the information you provided. I can't seem to see the photo you posted in your profile (although I can see it here in this thread!) so I'm not sure what's up with that; maybe it's a caching issue. I will check back again in a bit.
HiThe issue with The Boy's Book of Adventure is that it is not listed on my author page. Would it be possible to add it as one of my books?
I uploaded the cover for Going Down where the person's photo is supposed to go in my profile as I couldn't see anywhere else to put it.
Regards

It certainly is. It was moved there back in September.
Steve, I can see the cover on this page, as a tiny thumbnail (it's mostly vertical black lines, correct?) But when I go to your profile, where your profile pic should be it says "no photo." I'm not really sure why that is.I think you should be able to upload the photo to Going Down yourself, though, since you are the author and there is currently no cover photo for the book. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas.
Ah ha, I figured out a workaround! Your cover has been added. :)
HiThanks ever so much for spending all this time to help me, Kerry, it's really appreciated.
You're probably fed up with me by now but there is one more little thing if you have time. The Boys' Book of Adventure mentioned above is listed against the wrong Steve Martin (I.e. the famous comedian), whereas it should be listed against me. I am sorry to be a nuisance - however, once this is sorted I'm done... Until Buster publish my next book in October.
Regards
The non-famous Steve Martin

Description An unexplained suicide has a destructive effect on an ever-widening circle of people. Where will it end?
It's not allowing me to combine the two editions. Is this a database thing or did I do something wrong?

I have had another book published which I would like adding to my author page, if possible. The book is "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy" and it is published by Buster Books.
On a separate point, there is no picture for my snook, "Going Down" which has a cover (see Amazon). How can I get this in place? The reason I ask is that I plan to use the advertising facility on Goodreads but would like the cover picture in place first.
Regards
Steve Martin
