okay to delete "more photos"?

[[deleted user]]

I have a copy of this audiobook in front of me. I added the missing info including cover image because there was none. But there was a "more photos" (which I noticed after I was all done) Is it okay to delete? This ISBN is for an audio book and the extra image is obviously a hardcover with slipcase. I don't know why it is attached to this edition.

"More photos" shows up for ALL editions of a book. But covers are explicitly not supposed to be added there, so removing that is fine.

What is an appropriate use of "more photos"?

Interior illustrations, for example.

Maps. Publicity posters for a book.

How about adding a scan of the back of the jacket including blurb & stuff?
Or of a complete wraparound cover?

We allow both of those if they are from the author. It's a bit more problematic otherwise.

Amazon now have their 'flip' thing which allows the front & back cover (as well as the inside) to be shown. If their copy of a book shows the back can we do the same?

It's probably not a copyright/fair use issue in that case. But unless the back cover has a map or something, I don't see what the point would be of adding it as a "more photo" for the book.

[Banjomike]

I would agree with that.

Here's a reason:


cover on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/6...
full cover: http://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/5... (deleted)
book listing: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...

That full cover is pretty amazing. With picture books, where the illustrator is as important as the author, it would be nice to see their full cover.

That seems like a reasonable case.

Re 13: The images are fine, but I edited out the links. (I wasn't sure if regular librarians had that ability.)

Yeah. It has nothing to do with any edition of that book, whatsoever.

https://www.goodreads.com/photo/work/... there is a picture of the book in it but it really isn't about the book.

Got 19.

What do you think? I think there is no reason for it. https://www.goodreads.com/photo/work/...

Yeah, gone.
