If you mean that you want both editions to have the red cover then, no. We can add a new paperback with the red cover but the blue one has been shelved and reviewed so we don't change it. Do you want a third, red, cover adding?
Thank you, that would be helpful, as I might do another giveaway and it is the red cover they will receive. I hope the ratings can combine. I noticed that although the editions have nine ratings if you filter and view them only eight are in the stats.Thank you so much for your help
And best wishes from Australia!

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"
The ratings are fixed.
Thank you for your help and advice. I do have a better quality image, where should I upload it to?

Both red covers are now upgraded. Don't forget to choose one as the default as per my previous post. That way everyone will see the red cover unless they specifically search for the blue one.
Thank you - I will go and do it now - that is greatyour time is truly appreciated - thank you for being so fast in this also

There is no cover for my book, The Corruption of Innocence, A Journey for Justice. Can you help me get this on please. I currently have an ad going on but it would be helpful to have a cover up.
My book, The Naughty Never Die is not showing up on my Author Dashboard. It's listed on Amazon under both my Pseudonym, L.L. Kellogg and my Goodreads Author name, Laurie Kellogg. How do I get that linked to me?
Hi, my name is Amy and I am looking for a Goodreads librarian so that I can change my book cover image. I have a new cover that is going to be revealed today and so I would like to change it, but need help. I would appreciate it!
hi, it is me again - I was wondering please if I could ask for help with the cover on my give-away (just approved, which is great) ... it is showing a blue book but the give-away books will be the ones with the red cover - is it possible to change the image please?
Hi, I've just uploaded a revised cover to Amazon for my thriller BLOOD POOL. I now need to change the Goodreads cover to match. I've tried to delete the old cover and re-upload but was denied access. Please note I have uploaded the new cover to the UK edition (as a first-time upload). It is just the US edition that needs updating. Can you do this for me, please, or let me know how to do it?Many thanks.
Here's the Amazon link: viewBook.at/B00AR0XFX2

It needs to be added as a new alternate cover edition.

Are the new UK and US covers identical?

But the covers themselves ARE correct.

Will check it out.

Another thought before I check out the instructions for uploading an alternate cover edition - you asked if the two covers were identical. Does this make a difference?
J.E. wrote: "Hi again, Banjomike. Another thought before I check out the instructions for uploading an alternate cover edition - you asked if the two covers were identical.

You are not allowed to do that but I think it was a good question especially since the US edition doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.com at the moment, it points you to the UK edition.

An alternate cover edition is basically a new book record that is identical to the original book but which does not have any ISBN/ISBN13/ASIN numbers. Instead, you add a librarian note that includes the original numbers. That way people who have the book with the old cover can keep it while people who buy the new cover can shelve that.
