Adrian Howell (adrianhowell) | 7 comments Greetings Goodreads Librarians,

I’ve read the AUTHOR FAQ Q#3 & 4 and understand that Goodreads doesn’t delete/replace existing covers, and I’m looking for help in adding new cover editions to the following titles in my series so that I can later set them to the default.

Note: ISBNs, ASINs haven’t changed.

I’m still very new to Goodreads (nor particularly computer-literate) and I am not sure how to go about uploading the new cover art here, but my latest covers can all be found on my blog page at:

(If the images there are too small, clicking on them should provide a larger version.)

Sincerely,
Adrian

Empress (the_empress) Working on this.

Books 1: Added two editions: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Book 2: Did nothing. Seems to have the latest cover for both editions. http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...
Please tell me If I am wrong.

Book 3: Added two editions: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Book 4: Added two editions: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Book 5: Added two editions: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Please check if it is all ok.

How to change the default edition for a book, to show the new cover in the search results: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...
(Only the author can set this up, but you authors dashboard will still shows the edition that has been shelved the most)

Adrian Howell (adrianhowell) | 7 comments Thank you for making those changes. I have set the new editions to primary for Book 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Regarding Book 2 (http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...), I notice that you have added one alternate edition, but still with the old cover. There is a newer version on my blog page (http://adrianhowell.blogspot.jp/p/adr...).

I realise that the new cover does indeed look pretty much like the old one, but it isn't identical: The title font as well as the image (bars) have been tweeked to match the overall look of the other covers in the series, and I would appreciate it if you could add the new cover editions to Book 2. (I'm not sure if you can delete the alternate edition you added with the old cover, but if you can, please do so if only to keep the total number of editions down...)

Thanks again,
Adrian
