Julia Phillips Smith (julia_phillips_smith) | 4 comments Hi --

I renamed my vampire novel Saint Sanguinus and also updated the cover.

The previous Goodreads page for Saint Sanguinus is:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The new title is Vampires, Saints and Lovers

The Amazon link for the updated version is:

http://www.amazon.com/Vampires-Saints...

Your help with the update would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Julia Phillips Smith

Changes contrary to policy have been reverted.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as 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....

New cover editions:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Julia, 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: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

It was. But authors have to follow Goodreads policies just like anyone else, and may be asking for things contrary to policy because they simply don't know.

Librarians are expected to be familiar with the Manual and Goodreads policies and keep that in mind when responding to requests from users who may not be.
