Cindy Savage (cindysavage) | 5 comments It says 817 is done but my book is still showing with no cover and one of the additions had the cover? Any ideas on why this would be?

Thanks

Sandra | 31485 comments Cindy, if you want a specific edition to show (ie the new one from Smashwords with the cover), only you as the author can change it.

Instructions:
Q: My book has a new edition, but the old one is showing up on my author page. How can I change that?

A: The default edition of a book -- the one which shows up on your author page, in non-ISBN-specific searches, and several other places -- is determined by the number of Goodreads users who have shelved each edition.

As more users shelve the new edition, it will become the default instead.

Alternatively, Goodreads recently added a new feature for authors: Goodreads Authors can now choose which edition they want to be the default edition for their books. Goodreads Authors (and Goodreads Employees) are the only people who can use this feature, and they can only do so for books on which they are the primary author.

To use this feature, go to the edition you wish to set as the default, and click the "edit" link. On the edition's edit page there will be a link on the right side, about mid-way down the page and just before the link to refresh stats, to "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".

Steve | 45 comments This book

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

is listed under the translator's name. The author is

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

In Kafu's list of books appears

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57...

Now Sumidagawa is the Japanese name of the book of which La Sumida above is a translation, but it appears from comparison of the page numbers that the second listing refers to a Japanese edition which contains some of Kafu's other work. Therefore I think La Sumida above should be listed separately in Kafu's booklist. If there is a Japanese speaking librarian, it may be wise to refer the matter to him/her to settle.

Amanda Still | 4 comments Please combine the two editions out there for BRIDES OF THE STORM:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

Thanks for all your help this time and in the past.

Rgds,
Amanda


message 831: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31485 comments Not sure what you want done Amanda, I combined those on 26 June.


message 832: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Still | 4 comments Yes, they were combined and thank you. Now, there are two listings for the exact same book.

I suppose I should have said to eliminate the duplicate rather than combine.

Sorry about that.

Thanks,
Amanda

No. One is the Kindle edition and one is the paperback.

Dan Chabot (goodreaderscomdan_chabot) | 3 comments Hi: I'm trying to combine the print and e-book versions on my listing, using the "combine listings" tool, but the site won't accept it. It tells me I need to check boxes for at least two separate editions, but only one checkbox is offered...


message 846: by Claire (new)

Claire (cam-writes) | 4 comments Please combine the following two versions of the same work

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18... (has no cover)

Thank you.
