Ah, I see that you used Paperbackswap for this one. We cannot use that source - Amazon is fine, as are publishers, as are scans of own copies. The full list is here:

If your book doesn't have a cover yet, then as you're a GR author you can actually add it yourself.

If it does, then it is best that you read these guidelines first:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If your book is available online via a publisher's or your own personal website, we can take the cover from there. Otherwise you can upload it to your photos by using this link: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new

A list of acceptable sources for covers can be found here:

message 116: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #114: What is the source for that one? If it's via eBay, as I suspect, then we can't use that one, either.

#115: This one is fine, as it looks like it's sourced from Amazon US. Know a trick (that still just about works) to get a slightly larger version. ;)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #119 done. Managed to also find a Spanish description on Amazon. :)


message 119: by ContraCosta (new)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments #114 - I took this image, and then cleaned it up with photoshop to get the image colors to be improved.

Ahh, I see, that makes sense. The only other images I'd found on Amazon were also unusuable because of their copyright notices.


message 122: by ContraCosta (new)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments #123 Gotcha. For those I can't find on Amazon or the other sources, I'll get scans completed of our books and then post them on 'additional photos'. Its going to be helpful for the 'older biddies' to see a book cover : )

Cool, just let us know when they're ready! If you're able to scan a better image for some of those poorer images from Amazon too, then that would be fantastic (we don't mind swaping out covers for better ones)! :)


message 124: by ContraCosta (new)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments Ok! Good to know! Thank you for all you do!!!

Perfect! Many thanks!


message 128: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12223 comments 127 The other was a place holder without information, so I merged it into the right edition.

128 The image on Amazon is larger, so I used that one.


message 131: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #131-2 done! :)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This has an odd character in the title...I don't think I can edit it.


message 136: by ContraCosta (new)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments this might be a lame question..but is there a way to add some additional photos to a book in goodreads if amazon has 'look inside the book'?


message 137: by ContraCosta (new)

ContraCosta QuiltGuild | 64 comments add description?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

When one sees the history and artistry behind the antique and vintage Ohio quilts, she/he is encouraged and amazed at the "UN-covering" (no pun intended) of the gone, but not forgotten artist's tricks of the trade. The authors have uncovered an incredible amount of information regarding the quilters, textiles, history of quilt patterns, history of Ohio and various counties and cities....but most charming is the discovery of antique recipes for various dyes and incredibly, the recipe for the indelible ink, which was used to write on quilts. There is not only a vast amount of information, but some of the loveliest quilts ever photographed. Whether you are a
blue ribbon quilter for reproducing antique quilts, or a beginner, this is a deliciously treasure filled potpourri of Ohio history and artistry. It would make any Ohio quilter proud.

See Amazon's "Look Inside" for a great book preview!

#139: Done

We cannot take images from "look inside" without the authorization of the author and/or publisher. As J said, it's a copyright issue.

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 149, MJ you've asked for this cover add before. i turned you down at the time because the image you linked to is NOT associated with that goodreads record. at the time, i offered to upload the lousy photo from amazon, but you never took me up on it:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

i have uploaded the lousy pic from amazon that matches that edition.
