Request for current book cover to be deleted

[Tami]

Hi there,

Please can someone help to delete the current cover for my book The Enchanted, as I want to replace it with an amended cover.

Many thanks for your assistance :)

Tami, we never delete a book cover. Think of GR as a library and not a bookshop. If you want to update your book to a new cover we create an alternate cover edition. You as the author can then change the default book to your new cover edition.

From the FAQ For Authors at the top of the page:

Q: My book has a new cover, but the ISBN/ASIN has not changed. How do I change the cover on Goodreads?

A: Goodreads policy is not to change covers on books that have already been published. Instead, an alternate-cover edition may be added. Start a new thread in this folder if you need help.

Please note: Authors who also have librarian status who delete old covers or otherwise vandalize older editions of books may have their librarian privileges revoked.

Q: My book has a new edition, but the old one is showing up on my author page. How can I change that?

A: The default edition of a book -- the one which shows up on your author page, in non-ISBN-specific searches, and several other places -- is determined by the number of Goodreads users who have shelved each edition.

As more users shelve the new edition, it will become the default instead.

Alternatively, Goodreads recently added a new feature for authors: Goodreads Authors can now choose which edition they want to be the default edition for their books. Goodreads Authors (and Goodreads Employees) are the only people who can use this feature, and they can only do so for books on which they are the primary author.

To use this feature, go to the edition you wish to set as the default, and click the "edit" link. On the edition's edit page there will be a link on the right side, about mid-way down the page and just before the link to refresh stats, to "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".
