Geoff North | 2 comments Hi, I'm trying to update my Goodreads account and want to start by updating a new cover for my book. How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

Z-squared | 8575 comments If it's a new book that doesn't have a cover uploaded yet, as the author, you should be able to upload it.

If it's a new cover for an old book, we can't get rid of the old cover. Goodreads keeps all covers, whether or not they're still in print. Users like their Goodreads bookshelves to accurately reflect their physical books. Instead, we'll create an alternate cover edition for you, and then you as the author can set the new version as the default edition.

Either way, you can post a link here to whatever cover image you'd like uploaded, and we can take care of it for you.

Thanks, Z-squared! You can be as precocious as you want - it gets stuff done.
