Hi,

My book, The Portal's Choice, which was released on May 6, 2013, has a new cover for both the e-book and the print book. The new cover has been changed on Amazon. I would like to know how to change the cover on Goodreads. Thank you very much for your help.

If you follow the instructions in message #4 HERE you can make the new cover editions show first in searches etc. Please be aware that it can take up to 48 hours for the caches to all clear.

K.D. Pryor (kd_pryor) | 6 comments Hi and thanks for replying. I am not sure that I have a new edition. I need to change the book cover but the isbn number for the book has not changed. It now appears, under the same isbn, with a new cover.

Can I change the cover for both the print and e-book versions? Thanks

On Amazon the new cover is showing.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments GR does NOT change covers. All permutations will be shown on the site. New covers editions are created with the data from the original edition but WITHOUT the ISBN or ASIN added. To make the new cover show first in searches, you will need to follow the instructions listed above as this is something Librarians cannot help with.

Under Goodreads policies, a new cover needs a new edition. You were linked above to directions on how to set one of the new editions as primary.
