That's exactly how you're supposed to do it. I'm checking your books now, but I suspect you've already done most of the work.
Ok, all set. You had already created the new editions correctly, I just added the additional publishing info and a blurb in the description noting that these were alternate cover editions. Feel free to edit the blurb, but please don't do anything to the librarian notes in the yellow box visible on the edit page, that's there to make librarians' lives easier. And again, we can't set the primary (aka default) edition for you, you have to do that.

You currently have at least one edition of them on goodreads? If that is the case, go to this page https://www.goodreads.com/book/new
Here you will relist the book (with new cover) however you like -- don't put in an ASIN/ISBN number though. After you complete this step you will have another edition available on your book page. Then you follow the link z-squared provided to change the primary cover: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Then you return here to sing the praises of said z-squared and offer to send him/her a lifetime supply of free cakes and cookies.

Leaving a librarian note (from the book edit window) that this is an alternate cover edition helps with feature requests, book edition, fixing messes, deleting duplicates, etc.

Whew! Done at last! I hope all these images are useable -- I also tried uploading the covers through a new edition (before discovering a librarian must change them).
Apologies for the stupidity!
