Query about changing my book listing

[David]

Hi,

My book was added a few weeks ago (thanks) but the ISBN which is listed (9781909483422) is the one available on Amazon through resellers. If possible I would prefer to have the ISBN for the Createspace edition listed which is 978-1909483453, so that if people do link they can find the book - I see I can just edit the book myself and change the ISBN but my question is whether the links from the book page will work if I do this?

Thanks for your help.

regards
David

Hi,

I've successfully changed this and all of the book links work, the book stats and the reviews are still there, which was my concern, so thanks for the help but I think it is okay now.

If you would not mind, could you just take a quick look at the book listing to confirm that everything is okay (as I think).

regards
David

David, a valid ISBN should not be removed. I reverted your change and created a new edition for the other ISBN https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Hi Renske,

I've looked at the change and thanks for creating the new edition.

My original problem, though, is back. The '...422' edition is now the main edition, the 'default' if you will which all of the activity up to now relates to. In reality most of the reviews relate to the CreateSpace and Kindle edition. I know this may not seem to be an issue as you have combined the reviews, however, if I hit any of the online stores I either get the booksellers link in amazon (which ideally I do not want) or errors in B&N etc.

I would prefer is the new edition you created could be the main listing and the '..422' one be the secondary one.

Can you facilitate this? If my request is unclear let me know and I will try to explain it better.

regards
David.

Only the author change the default edition that displays

Follow instructions in msg 4 in the link below

The buy links are customisable by user (so your links and mine will be different) and will only work if the correct edition is selected I.e. If you have the kindle edition of a book on screen and use the Barnes and noble link it will fails as BN do not stock kindle edition and vice versa

Hi Paula,

Thanks very much for this.
