I'm not sure how to handle a book that is a re-release? I self-published a book that I got the rights back from the publisher. I would like the new book listed - the old book no longer is available. How do I handle this?

Goodreads policy is to keep all published editions on the site, as users want to shelve the copy they have. A new edition should be added for the re-release and combined with the existing editions.

As the author, you will 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: ttp://www.goodreads.com/help/show/319-how-d...

If you need help adding the new edition, we'll need some more information, like title, ISBN, publisher, etc.

Actually, I think I found it on Amazon. I added the new edition (and reverted the changes to the old editions).

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

To set it as the default edition, follow the instructions I linked to above.
