Goodreads policy is to keep all covers, even those that are out-of-print or no longer available. Instead, we create alternate cover editions (ACEs), and you as the author have the ability to set the new cover as the default edition. While making ACEs for your books, I noticed that another library had previously deleted covers for you against policy. I have reverted these changes and added ACEs not only for your newest covers but also for your middle set as well. The newest cover ACEs are found here:

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

To set these new covers as the default edition, follow the instructions below:

1) Navigate to the book's page. Be sure you have selected the edition you wish to become the default (primary) edition.

2) Click "edit details" below the book's description.

3) On the right side of the page, click "Set this book as the primary edition for this work". It's about midway down the page.

Only Goodreads Authors can set the default edition at this time.
