message 1: by Polly (new) - added it

Polly James | 6 comments Hi there, Steve at Goodreads helped me get my new book cover added to Goodreads, so it shows as per the photo above. However, there's now been a last-minute change in the cover design (which is being revealed tonight) but I can't work out how to change the cover that's showing on here. (Just to be clear, this isn't another edition, it's just the revised cover for the only edition.)

Would it be possible for someone to help me by adding the revised cover to my profile and deleting the incorrect (outdated) one? The new cover is already up on Amazon, here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Would-Like-Me...

Do hope someone can help and sorry to be such a dingbat about this!

message 3: by Polly (new) - added it

Polly James | 6 comments It went out as ARCs but was changed last week, and now the new design is the one that's being used.

lethe | 16368 comments Since the old cover has gone out, we cannot delete it. I have added an Alternative Cover Edition instead: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

You can make that the default by going to its edit page and scrolling down. Halfway down the page on the right-hand side is the option to set the default.

Thanks so much. Will do that now! (Would Goodreads staff be able to delete the now-defunct one, too, do you think?

Goodreads does not delete editions/covers that have been distributed, so I'm afraid it will have to stay.


message 9: by Johan (new)

Johan Crous | 2 comments I have recently changed two of my books' covers.
I would like to change them here on Goodreads as well.
I have heard that Goodreads will add a new edition and that I can set the new one as the default. Where will the reviews show if I make the new one the default, and can I combine thevtwo with the new one as the default?

Any alternate cover edition we add will already be combined with the original book. Changing which one is the default edition won't affect your reviews. They'll still be there.

I removed the cover but don't know your new title. :)

lethe | 16368 comments Please everyone, start a new thread for future requests, as this one is for a specific book.
