Russell Perry (russellperry) | 2 comments I've just added a new cover to my book "The Returning"
Author: Russell J. Perry. I'm afraid I mucked it up by starting to add a new addition. But it has the same ISBN and I was unable to proceed. Now the new cover is there with no meta data. Could you please delete it and add the new cover to the existing addition or add a new cover edition (I couldn't find how to do this)
Cover URL:http://russellperry.com.au/wp-content...

Thank You.

Adding a new edition is exactly right, because Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site. 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....

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: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Looks like your new edition already is the default though.
