Karen Anne (minissa) | 4 comments GR says I need a librarian to do this. Please may I have some help? I've had a book reissued. Amazon managed to wipe all my reviews when they did this, and I'd like to keep the ones I have here at GR. Info: book is Tapestry of Enchantment, original edition by Dragon Moon Press at URL https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

New edition is by Fire Opal Books, don't have a URL left. The text is entirely the same except for the fact that Dragon Moon deleted the last line ("and the name of the murderer is..." sort of thing). I've redone the entire entry with ISBN/ISBN 13, new cover and publisher and so on. I just did it so don't have a separate URL yet. Is this enough info to be getting on with?

Thank you so much. The switch between publishers has been traumatic, esp with getting Amazon to list the right edition (so the previous publisher isn't getting Fire Opal and my royalties) and port over the reviews.

Betsy | 605 comments Done. Tapestry of Enchantment. It looks like the Dragon Moon Press edition is the default edition. You can change that if you want to.

Karen Anne (minissa) | 4 comments Thanks, and I feel like an idiot, but I don't see a command to make one or the other the default edition (and I would like it to be Fire Opal's).

Ine | 263 comments Unfortunately, we can't set the default edition on behalf of you. You can find the steps here: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Karen Anne (minissa) | 4 comments I'm sorry, I've been trying this for two days now and can't find "set this as default entry." (ISBNs 160043150X (ISBN13: 9781600431500)When I do "edit details," I get a whole pile of questions about the book, but the only thing on the right of the page is "back to book page; edit metadata" and an explanation of how you use these answers. Is it possible this item has changed since that particular help page was created?

Karen, that option will only show up for you once you have claimed your author profile and that request has been approved. Complete the request here.

Karen Anne (minissa) | 4 comments Truly cannot believe how patient and quick you guys are. I landed in a little bit of a mess with which should be default editions when I changed publishers, and you are so kind and on the ball. If I thought you were other than volunteers, I'd find your boss and tell him or her to give you all raises!
