Tabby (confessionsofabloggingaddict) The author I PA for has changed the cover and titles to two of her books. I need the never covers added as well as the titles changes and some new information as well.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers because users like to shelve the edition that matches the cover they own. Instead, we create alternate cover editions (ACEs), and the author has the ability to set the new cover as the default edition. This applies to books that are republished with new names as well. For more information, see messages 3 and 4 in the FAQ here:

If you'd like a Goodreads librarian to make the ACEs for you, that's fine, you just need to include all the relevant publishing info and a link to the cover image in a request phrased according to these guidelines, if possible:

Ultimately, however, ONLY a Goodreads author can set the default edition of a book. If the author you work for has already claimed his/her profile on Goodreads, he/she (or you, if you have the login info) will need to log in and set the default edition to the new ACE after it's been created. The instructions on how to do so are here:
