Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments We do not change covers on already published books. Instead we add an alternative cover edition. Please see here for reference:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
www.goodreads.com/help/show/85-adding...

If you want we can do this for you and combine with the other editions, but it may take a while. Once it's done, however, it's possible to select the edition you want with the new cover as the default for showing on your author profile:

J.P. Summers (goodreadscomjp_summers) | 3 comments I need a book cover deleted before my book is published on the 15th. The wrong one was uploaded and I am just now getting around to making updates. I have already downloaded he new cover on my published book shelf on my profile.

Ack, you've actually gone and made a mess for us, as it looks like you've just gone ahead and created a new one, which is completely unfair on all those that have already added your book to their "to read" list.

As less than 5 people had added the book, I was able to delete the old one to merge it into the new one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1.... But seriously don't do this in the future - please wait for a librarian to respond.

Also, please be aware that there are instances in which we can't delete old covers. Please read here for more information. In this instance I see that there is only an ebook, so it is unlikely that an ARC would have been released and there are no reviews - ARCs also count as published books.

I've noticed that you've started added the ACEs (alternative-cover editions) for the other books. As a note, make sure you put a note in the description as Z-Squared has done on this book so that people know (we also add a Librarian's Note, which as an author you should be able to do and see, just to save confusion in years to come when people have forgotten about these things).

Also, Kindle editions should have an ASIN and be listed as Kindle Edition. Other ebooks have ISBNs and are listed as such.

I finished adding ACEs and cleaned up the ones that were started. Everything should be good to go now. As Susie noted above, you should be able to set which edition as the primary one now by following the instructions here:

Bless you, Z-Squared. I really appreciate your help!
