You can keep both covers, I will make an alternative edition and since your a GR author your can make which ever one your primary edition. Their both really pretty covers :)
Thanks so much for that Nandar. I don't need the first cover any more though. It won't be published when the book releases on September 30 so it can be removed entirely. Thanks again :)
Thank you Armi! You're amazing! I really appreciate the quick work :D
Thanks, once again to you too Nandar! You are also amazing ;) Have a great day!
I think that, technically, since the book has one review we would not delete the relevant cover/edition. We assume that if it has been reviewed then it might have been read. A different cover is certainly in use for advertising material in various places on the web:

Hi! I would like to ask update my book cover or make the new cover the main one, but I don't know how to give you the photo for the new one. Help, please! My book is If Only You Knew, by Anastasia Abboud.
Thank you.
Leave a link to the cover, or add it to your additional photos on your profile.
I, too, need help changing the cover of Where Dreams Are Born. Can I leave the link to the Amazon book page? If not, where is acceptable? Thanks.
Yes, Amazon is fine.

I'm assuming that it is this cover

If so, I have done it

Next time please link us the cover. It would make a librarian job easier :)

I think you are missquoting somewhere. My message was following on from the changing of the cover for the book in the OP.
I have a book cover that has had author quotes added to it.Bind and Keep Me
Though I have had some beta readers rating the book already this is in no way a new book and it doesn't release until the 30th of august.
Would it be possible to delete the old cover? I really don't want two covers when it doesn't even have an isbn yet.
New cover image link below.

I'm surprised that the old cover was deleted given that the book had been beta read and reviewed both on Goodreads and other sites with the existing cover. A big cover reveal with excerpts and reviews would normally be enough to keep the original cover alive.
It wasn't reviewed on any sites, except here. The only readers were beta readers and have read it as a word doc without any cover. One of the reviews is my editor (which she states). And one rating is from someone who hasn't even read the book. I sent out a pdf ARC just now which also has no cover. it may not have any bearing on this, but my formatter is still making the book and I only sent him the cover yesterday.
Next time I will know not to put up a cover so early. I hadn't realized adding the cover quote to the same cover would be a problem.

Normally beta reading counts as a review even if the beta read was of a Word document. The review by the not-reader wouldn't stop the cover being changed, we are not paranoid about keeping covers, but the betas normally would. The change is not likely to be reverted because it was made by a staffer.

Thanks for adding it...somewhere. The link takes me to a page with the new cover, but when I go to my dashboard or search for it by title, the old cover comes up. How does it get to where it needs to be?

This is the procedure for setting the default edition of a book:
i) Go to the book page of the edition you wish to become the default/primary edition.
ii) Click "edit details" below the book's description.
iii) On the right side of the page about halfway down, click "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".
iv) Click "Save Changes"
