message 1: by Steve (new) - added it

Steve Evans | 3 comments I recently added my book, Minutiae to Goodreads, however I do not know how to add the book cover as well. It is currently for sale through Amazon.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Looks like an amazon import created the book and added the cover 2 days ago.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Actually just noticed you created an ebook edition under the single space Author Profile instead of under your profile, which is "Steve^^^^Evans" where ^=space, if you create a book manually and add the 4 spaces to the author name it will automatically go to your profile.

If your book is only available as an ebook on Amazon let us know and we will merge the 2 editions.

If not you can add the cover to that edition, since it does not have one, just follow what I put below.

For future reference you can add the cover to a book that is missing one as long as you are the Primary Author and there is no cover attached.
1) Goto the book page.
2) Click on the "edit details" link
3) Click the "Browse" button on the right hand side of the page to browse for the cover image.
4) Click the "upload photo" button.

Anne Jolin (annejolin) | 18 comments Good afternoon! I had the covers for 4 of my books re-designed and I need to update the covers on Goodreads. Can someone help me?

The books are,
- Chasing Rhodes
- Choosing Henley
- Breaking Bennett
- Keeping King

Steve Evans | 3 comments Thank you, Phil. My book is only available at this point as an Amazon ebook. Could you merge the two under my profile?

Merged the ebook. Only the Kindle edition is left now.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.
Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.
See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

Alternate-cover editions added here:

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.
Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...


Also: please don't post the same request more than once. Please start a new thread next time, as this one is linked to a specific book.
