The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life by Russell Anthony Gibbs

All three current versions (hardback, paperback and Kindle) should have this, lighter blue cover and the cover artwork should be centered correctly. This cover is slightly off center. There is also a blank cover being shown that needs this artwork.

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....

As the author, you will 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...

Rivka,

Thank you for your comment, however the covers are still not correct, especially the blank and off centered covers. Can you please review these again and make the corrections requested.

Added cover image from Amazon for blank HC edition; the others will have to remain as Rivka stated.


Russell Gibbs | 8 comments Ugh!!! Can't all the correct covers come from Amazon? Amazon shows all the correct covers and are centered properly.

I can tell you that at least one of the covers you want changed was uploaded by you personally. Once the cover images are in place, they cannot be changed per GR policy. Please see Rivka's instructions about setting the default edition; no covers can be deleted.


Russell Gibbs | 8 comments I set the default but I am frustrated that the GR cover policy is not concerned about cover accuracy. Once inaccurate, always inaccurate.

lethe | 16359 comments Cover images can only be changed when they are obviously wrong (i.e. for a different book, or with a different publisher on the cover, or when they have never been published, or are clearly not a cover).
