Matt Alt (matt_alt) | 14 comments Hello,

I'm the author of a book called Yokai Attack! The Japanese Monster Survival Guide. For some reason, the new edition of the book, which was previously on my author book list, has disappeared. Now only the old, out of print edition is showing up. I don't see this new edition in searches, either. Can someone explain to me why it disappeared and how to add it again? (It has a white cover as opposed to the old, green-covered edition.)

Matt Alt (matt_alt) | 14 comments I'm sorry but I do not see "Set this book as the primary edition for this work" on the edit page. Am I missing something?

Also, putting aside the primary edition issue, do you know why this book wouldn't be showing up in my book list at all? It was there as of a few months ago. Is there some way to re-add it?

On this page? http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/12...

It's there. 4th down on your author page. But the older edition is the one showing up, as it is currently the default edition.

Matt Alt (matt_alt) | 14 comments Yeah, on the right, I only see "upload an ebook," "disable tooltips," and "refresh book rating stats." (thanks for your quick responses, by the way!)

Matt Alt (matt_alt) | 14 comments It's odd you can see it! I am looking at my author page and only see 7 distinct works, none of which is Yokai Attack new edition. (Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the Yurei Attack cover, which has a similar motif?)

It's first on that list.

Again, you won't see the new edition, only the old one. The default edition of a work is the only one that shows up in author lists.

And I think I know why you can't set the new edition as primary: you're not the primary author. So I set it as primary for you, which I don't usually do.
