Adding a New Book

[Jay]

Tried adding a new edition of this book to show the print version because Kindle is already in your database. However, I get an error telling me that I am already an author and that duplicating the author isn't allowed. I'm not really trying to add an author but rather just trying to add the paperback version to the database. Thoughts?

I don't know what you did, but if you use the 'add a new edition' link on the book page it should be OK. https://www.goodreads.com/book/new?au...

Upon trying to add it again, it sent an error, then I did an ISBN search, and the book showed up. So, I guess it added it although it complained about the author. Not sure what that was about. Everything looks like it's in order, though. Thanks, lethe. :)

Strange! No idea what happened. But the edition looks good and both are listed under your profile.

One of my books, A Rebel Among Us, has been published with another publisher so the cover and ISBN are different. How do I change these on my author page?

A new edition has to be added. GR does not delete books that are no longer available. I found the Smashwords listing, and added the ebook: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The Kindle edition of this book was on a different author profile. Moved it to your profile and combined with the paperback.

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.
