I'm trying to edit or even remove a book I have on my Author Dashboard. The Dragons of Sara Sara. I have a new cover on it, but now after attempting to modify or add it, I"ve ended up with two "new" books with blank covers added to the list. Surely there is some way I can edit the entires, and just add a new cover to the existing books.

From what I can recall, it's not possible to remove a book. I have the same issue with my re-release as I hate the old cover and never want to see it again! A new cover usually gives you a new ISBN though, so it can't be edited. I'd be glad if Goodreads could advise us otherwise.
It's a real pain. Yet I now have three listings with different covers, same book. But It won't now let me add another one, with the same everything, but new cover. I yet again, end up with either no cover, or the wrong cover.This is very frustrating, and enough to make me give Goodreads up all together.
Robert, I'd recommend posting all relevant information in our Librarians Group. One of our helpful volunteers will be able to help you from there.
Please do not move ASIN / ISBN s around. GR policy is the leave these on the first edition on GR.Against policy changes reverted.
New cover added for Kindle edition and other editions clean up
GR does not remove / delete old cover editions

Yes, I understand that, so I tried following the guides in the https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/8... document.
Well, as you probably saw. In the end, I entered a copy without ISBNs or ASINS, with the new cover uploaded, and the message at the top of the description. ... as per the how-to from GR.
Thanks for any fixing, if I understand you correctly.
