214, Goodreads policy is to keep all covers, even those that are out of print or no longer available. Instead we create alternate cover editions (ACEs), and you as the author have the ability to set the new cover as the default edition. I have created an ACE for your book here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

To set it as the default edition, follow the instructions here:

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #216 that record is a bit of a mess. It has the ISBN from one, but originally had the publisher of that cover... I'm confident that it SHOULD be the record for the publisher given the review dates match the printing.

Mohammad Aboomar (mohammad_aboomar) | 89 comments @Emy: Looks like we both worked on it at the same time. confusing!

Thank you to you both! :)

Mohammad Aboomar (mohammad_aboomar) | 89 comments Hi Darla. I see that this is your book. The edition listed on GR is the paperback edition, while the edition on Amazon is the Kindle Edition. Has this book been published in papeback form?


message 220: by Mohammad (new)

Mohammad Aboomar (mohammad_aboomar) | 89 comments I also needed to change the author and editor names as per GR policy (Darla M. Grese, Evan S. Fiedler).

Z-squared | 8575 comments 229 done, since it was a bigger pic of the same cover


message 228: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Added, but what is the source of these images? If they're your copies, would it be possible to take the images straight on?

That was fast! Thank you. :)

message 233: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 236, there's no reason to change the cover pic that's already there. it's high-res and accurate. plus we generally don't use the stand-up book + spine type covers, we usually use the flat, cover-only pics.


message 234: by Julieta (new)

Julieta (shamanik) Hi, I added some books to the database and now I want to upload the covers, but this message keeps appearing: "Your permissions will only allow the editing of the metadata". What do I have to do in order to upload the covers? Thanks in advance.

Hello Julieta, you can post the url of those books and say us where we can find the cover and we will upload it. :)
Thankyou.

If you have librarian privileges, you just click the "edit details" button, and then on the right side of the page click "choose file", and then click "upload" and save the record.

I was looking at your history, and it looks like you made a bunch of Spanish language versions of existing titles - be sure to combine the editions with the existing records!


message 238: by Julieta (new)

Julieta (shamanik) The thing is I am the only one who has the covers because, as I couldn't find them on the internet, I scanned them myself. I don't think I have librarian privileges because if I had I would be able to see the button to upload the picture =S What do you mean with existing records? I mean, these books have been printed only once here and in 2012 (and I don't think they'll ever be printed again because it was an edition a newspaper published). Plus, I can't change ANYTHING of what I've already input =S

Sorry, I'll try to clarify. The books that you added are an edition of another book, so they should all exist as a single entry or record in Goodreads. They have different publishers, but are different editions of the same work.

For more information on being a Goodreads librarian and the rules, check here


message 240: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments Julieta, you are not a librarian. Only librarians can upload or change covers on existing records. And only librarians can combine editions together. If you have covers you'd like uploaded, just post a link to the book here on goodreads and a link to the cover image you'd like added. For the cover images that you've scanned, it's usually easiest to upload their pics to your profile.

For the Spanish language books you've added, if they are translations of existing books, you need to ask a librarian to combine them with the other editions. To do so, start a new thread and provide the links to the edition you added and the parent edition.

Pamela Frost Dennis (goodreadscompamelafrostdennis) | 2 comments I am slowly learning how Goodreads works.

May I please have a cover added to my book:
Dead Girls Don't Blog https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

An image can be found at:

I am also having a difficult time claiming it - keep getting a message that my last name does not match my profile -Pamela Frost Dennis

Any help/suggestions are appreciated!

It's so difficult T_T I'd be glad if anybody combined the editions of the books I uploaded. I was able once to upload a cover, but only while I was adding the book for the first time (later, when I wanted to upload some covers I wasn't able anymore).

What information do you guys need to upload the covers? I'll upload them later beacuse they are in a pendrive I don't have with me right now.
