There is only one kindle edition.

This edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
with this Kindle edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
And also please use title from first link, to correct second (see second link, title is "Ruined", and text in brackets is extra... it should link to series, but it doesn't)

Also, there is a second profile for the author that should probably be addressed and a couple wrong descriptions, like a synopsis for the Halycon edition on some other edition and a text about Algernon Blackwood. It looks pretty messy, really. Thanks!

I peeked at the Robert Ervin Howard profile and grabbed the edition of Hour of the Dragon and combined with the rest. Not sure if the profile itself should be merged with the Robert E. Howard one, as some editions have the full name on the cover.
In any case, I think the Howard profile and its books would make a great project, if anyone's looking for one.

Is it possible to have them separated?
These two are the first edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And these four are the second edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I updated the descriptions for the books, and the edition details, but have been unable to separate them.
Thank you
All the best

Why not just select the default edition as one of the new ones and that means it will be the one they see first. As long as the covers for the new ones are the same, and the original are different you shouldn't have any difficulty.
Only authors & staff can select default editions. Instructions in the 4th msg down.

Why not just select the default edition as one of the new..."
Hi, thank you, I have just done that. I am just going through my books trying to update details (new to Goodreads as an author) and setting primary editions. I seem unable to update my 'Hypnotic Assassin' novel. I want to add the cover image. The book is showing as 'Daniel Jones' it is me, but I am unable to add the cover (as seen on Amazon for this edition)

I've been unable to edit the Hypnotic Assassin
Or Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Any of the editions of Hypnotherapy
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I haven't check other books of mine yet.
How do I get access to be able to edit the details of these and add the correct cover images etc?
All the best
Dan

Added the first one of your linked books to your profile by adding the missing space (for future reference, yours is the 4 space profile) the others were already,there so you should be able to edit details.
If you find other books that are not attributed to your profile you have to ask in a separate thread(this one is just for combining elditions), with mentioning the amount of spaces librarians can do that really quick. (Spaces are the way goodreads distinguish between authors with the same name and don't affect searches)
Not hundred percent sure if authors can edit the cover, but librarians can -> just ask (with a cover from an acceptable source and link to the book) in an extra thread


You should be able to add covers and other details.
Someone else has moved Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts to your profile. You should be able to edit them now.

These are the same, the actual name of the book is "Media & Democracy. Also, some editions have two authors "James Curran" and "Curran James". The profiles should probably be unified as they are the one and the same.
