Can't add books because they are already there.

[David]

Two related problems. I have had an existing book on Goodreads, The Angel of Music, Part I: The Enchanted Violin, for the past two years. I recently changed the title and the cover. It is now Raoul (The Angel of Music, Book 1). Unfortunately, it has already been added, maybe automatically, but with the author as C David Stephens instead of C. David Stephens. I cannot edit it to change the author name. I can't add a new one because both the ASIN and ISBN are already connected to the one with the incorrect author name.

I also published the next in the series, Erik (The Angel of Music, Book 2), and it has the same problem: author name missing a period, so I have no access to it and can't add a new one.

I fixed names on the first book but cannot combine at this time as the function is down.

Could not find "Erik"; could you post a link?

Books have been combined

Thanks.

Erik looks good.

I have changed the description, page count, etc. for Raoul, but it still has the old cover and I can't find any way to change it. Here is a link to the book with the correct cover.

Here is the Amazon link if it will help:

Thanks again.

Hi David,

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers because users like to shelve the edition that matches the one they own. Instead, we create alternate cover editions (ACEs), and you as the author have the ability to set the new cover as the default edition. I have edited the kindle edition with the new cover to be your ACE. To set it or any other edition as the default (the one that appears on your profile and in search results by title), follow the instructions here:
