So sorry added my new eBook under LS Wagen instead of L.S. Wagen and it didn't show. It is entitled Super Man's Resume A Beginner's Guide to Resume Writing and Beyond. Also forgot to add the cover. I hope I can add this later. ISBN 9780965253031 Published by Wagen-Load Productions Publication Date January 3, 2014. Thanks for fixing this. L.S. Wagen

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.Now I have a second problem. On my first book Pauline's Perils of Perplexity, I decided that yes people judge a book by its cover. I dropped the original cover that was designed for me and I am now going for a cover that Amazon provided. I tried to delete the cover in Goodreads, but an error message said only Librarians can do this. I would like to swap out the cover and use the one at Amazon. Could you delete the original cover so I can add a new one? Thank you.

Instead we add an alternate-cover edition. Please see here for more information.
Also, I notice with this book that you've listed the Kindle and ebook editions as one. We usually list them separately. This is because Amazon lists their ebooks (Kindle editions) by their ASIN and other ebook sellers use an ISBN. Otherwise is impossible to search.
I have therefore added the Kindle edition with the original cover taken from here and have added an alternate-cover edition for the Kindle version:

You can set the default edition by following the instructions here:

Has the cover for the ebook edition also been updated? If so, I'll also add an ACE for that.
Yes, the eBook edition for Smashwords has also been updated. Please update that also. At this time there are no hardback print versions of either book. But I'm working on it. I am trying to get endorsements for the back cover, and will be publishing the paperback version through Amazon. Thanks for your help.
OK, I've also created an ACE for the ebook edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....Just let us know once there are other editions and we can add those for you. Good luck! :)
Help. My Super Man's book has the wrong title in Goodreads. Could some librarian help me fix it? I think the librarian, see above, added it wrong. It is missing a colon, a coma and instead of the words Job Hunting it should be Resume Writing. The book review coordinator at Goodreads just pointed out the error to me. I didn't notice it before today.It should read, Super Man's Resume: A Beginner's Guide to Resume Writing, and Beyond
Here's the Amazon link to refer to

Thank you.
I've revised one of my books, Sleeping Dogs: The Awakening, and created a new cover for it. Please advise how I can add this new cover to my Goodreads page. Thank you.
John,Messages #3 & #4 HERE are pertinent to your question.
In summary:
1. Create a new edition with the new cover but WITHOUT ASIN/ISBNs - these remain with the original edition.
2. Combine with the existing record(s).
3. Follow the instructions in the link above to set the newest cover as "Primary" - this means it shows first in general searches and on your author page.
