M.G. Dekle (MGDekle) | 2 comments Hi there, I need a librarian's help to change over the cover image of The Crystal Ordeal (Legends of Leone, #1). I recently changed the cover to the image found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1EVHW6

If someone could help me create the alternate edition and merge the editions together, that would be much appreciated.

V.T. Vaughn (VTVaughn) | 3 comments I'm in the same boat with my cover of my book The Christmas Exhibition. The old cover shows up on Goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

While the new image is here http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Exhib...

I can't change it in my dashboard. Can someone please help?

Alt cover edition added: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Colleen Helme | 10 comments I also have new covers for 4 of my books and would like to update. Do I need to create new editions of each book in order to show the new book cover as a new edition? Then change that edition to the default? Thanks for your help.

Short answer: yes. :)

Mark Bennett (goodreadscommark_bennett) | 5 comments I need help changing the front cover photo. The photo that exists is not the actual book cover. I can't seem to change it. It's for a book called The Big Show. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mark Bennett (goodreadscommark_bennett) | 5 comments I guess the question is is that the photo that is there is preventing me from uploading the picture I have. So, how can it be removed? Thanks again for your help.


message 14: by Mark (new)

Mark Bennett (goodreadscommark_bennett) | 5 comments WOW! Thank you for fixing that Monika. I really appreciate it.

Please change the cover for Velvak's Victory (both editions) to the cover found here : http://www.dejong.co.za/wp-content/up...


message 16: by Philip (new)

Philip (phenweb) | 36 comments I need to update the cover of my third book The Persuasive Man done on Amazon and my blog http://phenweb.files.wordpress.com/20...

I cannot do this from the Author's Dashboard.

Eddie & Philip,

I have the new alternate cover editions for you both now. Links are below for each so that you can alter which edition shows as primary if you so wish. :)

Velvak's Victory: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18... (link is to Pbk, but you can use the new Kindle too if you prefer)
The Persuasive Man: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

This link shows you how to set the new editions to show first in searches.

Are we allowed to have placeholders or is that a no no?

Thanks!


message 24: by Monique (new)

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments Zoe,

You can have placeholders, but it will mean that you will need a Librarian to delete it for you when the actual cover is ready.

Thanks for that info. Good to know. One more thing, the cover placeholder is still showing up in the series list. Could that be fixed? Thanks again.


message 26: by Rachelle (new)

Rachelle Rogers (rachellerogersauthor) | 6 comments A subtitle has been added to my book, Rare Atmosphere, and I need to have the cover updated. The correct cover can be found on my amazon pages, the clearer one on the Kindle page: http://www.amazon.com/Rare-Atmosphere...

I also need this new cover linked for both the paperback and Kindle editions on Goodreads.

Thanks much...

Mara Valderran (maravalderran) | 4 comments Hi! Can you delete the placeholder image for my book so I can replace it with the actual cover?

Thanks!

If clicking the series name shows correct cover, then it's just taking the goodreads cache some time to catch up to the series thumbnails. Between 10 minutes and 72 hours for series thumbnails to update. I'd give it until Monday (if there is a site bug it will need staff to fix and they are not likely working weekends; the librarians have done what they can in the database).

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
