I am the author of the Book ‘The Rich the Poor and the Foolish’ (ISBN 978-0-9928424-0-6). I just added a paperback (pocket book) edition to the Goodreads database using the ‘Add Book’ tab but forgot to upload the cover image. How can I add the image at this stage? Paul N Liburd

Paul N Liburd"I found the book, here. You actually put it onto the wrong author profile - as your author profile is Paul Liburd, you will have to add books that way, or they will not appear on your author profile. I have now moved the book over to your own profile, so you will be able to see it and edit it to add the cover.
I also noticed that you put the ISBN-13 into the ISBN-10 field, which meant that it was truncated. I have corrected this and put it into the correct field (using the ISBN you gave) and have also added the ISBN-10.
Thank you Susie. I am very grateful for your help. I am new to Goodreads and just finding my way around. Your prompt and helpful reply makes me feel that Goodreads is indeed a supportive and friendly community. Thanks again. :-)

No worries! We all have to start somewhere and us librarians are here to help any time! :)
I've also just combined the books for you (which is something you can also do as a GR author), which basically means all editions of the same book then show together.
As a result of your intervention, I now feel as if I am making real progress. Bless you :-)

Fixed. Profile and books are now under Paul N. Liburd as per book covers.
#777: We cannot use the source you provided, as it's a bookseller. Please view here for a list of acceptable sources. As an alternative, you can upload a scan of your own personal copy.
OK. How about this?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Is that a scan of your own copy?
No, unfortunately I don't have one; it's the best picture I've found in the net.
Fangorn wrote: "No, unfortunately I don't have one; it's the best picture I've found in the net."Then unfortunately we can't use it. It's all about verifying the source:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...
Acceptable sources for cover images include author and publisher websites, library sites, and various other public archives. We cannot legally use any cover images from booksellers, with the exception of Amazon. Since Amazon has purchased Goodreads, their covers may now be used on Goodreads as well.
An individual user's scans or photos, taken of books they own or have in their possession, are also an acceptable source for cover images.
(plus the other list of sources I provided above: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...).
I checked through Amazon sites and couldn't find it, nor on WorldCat.

#795 done. Natalie, as an author you should be able to add covers to your books by going to the book's edit page (only if there's no cover already in place though). :)
please add cover to my book 'All the Shades of Shane - Blissful Misery' http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IPL4KDE
#797 done! Also, because Kindle and ebook editions are considered separate for GR purposes, I have added the Kindle edition as well: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....

Thank you. That didn't even take five minutes. Great work
Hello Goodreads-Team and Librarians,can you help me upload covers to my two books:
For this book:

And for this book:

Are the links I'm sending ok? Or do you need me to send you the pictures directly? I'm new here so thanks so much for your help.
All the best,

810 done - also added diacritics to titles and descriptions.
Koenraad, thank you so much, your help is so very appreciated! Have a great Monday, and thanks once again for being so fast and awesome.
Please add a cover to this book. Thanks!Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Cover: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...
If the cover shown by Amazon for a particular edition includes the "Look Inside" flag, can you get around that somehow? Here are the links.Book (1993 Picador edition of The Aristos): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Amazon cover image: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...
Amazon entry for this edition (in case it helps): http://www.amazon.com/Aristos-John-Fo...
If you can't deal with that, can I submit a photo of the cover? I took one last night, with better color and focus than Amazon's, but I don't know what dimensions you'd want or where to upload it.
I tried to replace a placeholder cover for Time Square The Shift which is due for release in April. I couldn't do it, so I created a second version and then combined the two. But the original one with the place holder cover is still there. OOOps.
Can this be fixed so that there is only one edition with the right cover. Cheers.
#815 done (we can definitely get around the "look inside" thing, the trick is to remove a bit of text in the image name, specifically everything from the first period to the last period before .jpg)#816, did the ARC that was given out have the placeholder cover?
