Lux Zakari (luxzakari) | 2 comments Hi -- I'm in the process of adding a second edition to Lux Zakari's "Coercion" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...) -- it has a new publisher, ISBN, and cover. But right now, three editions are listed for the book on Goodreads.

Is it possible to get it condensed to two editions (second edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2..., first edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...), and have it so that the cover image of the second edition is the default cover image?

Please message me if you have any questions. Thank you; I appreciate it!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Goodreads policy is NOT to delete any edition that has been released.

See here for further details.

Message #4 on that link guides you through setting the newest cover edition as the default in searches. This means that the newest cover will show first in searches, on you author page and in series listings. Only authors can set the default edition - otherwise it is set automatically at the most popular edition.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Lux, it looks like one of those editions had been incorrectly updated to a later edition. I've reverted it to the original state, so there are 3 valid first editions listed.

If you'd like to set the new edition to be the default, you can follow these steps:
