Khalid (agencyrulespk) | 38 comments Hello everyone,

I am having a very odd problem.

I had a new edition of my book added, combined and have able to set it as the default edition. But there seems to be a problem with the Listopia section that maybe someone here can help me out with.

I have added the new version of my book to a few lists, but they are not showing up on my book page. However, when I search the lists that I have added it to, I find it listed there. Here's an example:

Here is a list that I have added the new edition to:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

There's my new cover edition at #223. My old cover edition is at #21.

If you look at the book page:

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

It's not listed in any lists.

Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Khalid Muhammad

Khalid (agencyrulespk) | 38 comments I read your answer and commented there, but I don't think you answered my question.

What I am asking is why the lists that I add the new cover on are not appearing on my book page? The book has been added to the list, but it does not display the list name on my book page (new cover edition).

It is possibly because of the famous Goodreads caching issues. I know that other books do have several editions which show lists on their pages so in principle your new edition should do as well.

For example, this Agatha Christie book has listopias showing for the 1st (17 lists) and 3rd books (2 lists) in the list (but not the 2nd, 4th, etc ...)

Just wait and see if they turn up.

Khalid (agencyrulespk) | 38 comments Sounds like a plan, Banjomike! I'll give it a few days and if they still aren't showing, I'll come back and asking again.

I do hope this can be sorted out! The book is on a number of lists and placed quite high on some. I would like to be able to have readers push this cover edition to the same positions.

Thanks!
