P.D.R. Lindsay (pdrlindsay) | 12 comments I have a lovely new cover and an edited and updated version of my ebook 'Jacob's Justice.

The print edition has been remaindered and no longer is available. The other ebook editions with the old cover are no longer the books I want to sell. They too have been deleted. How do I remove them from view and make my new cover and new edition the one readers see?

I used the new cover new addition system but that does not bring my new version as the one on show nor does it remove the old editions.

Help please!

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/32...

However, as the author, you 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...

P.D.R. Lindsay (pdrlindsay) | 12 comments Thank you! Sorry to be such a tech inept.
And now the new cover and edition are not showing up!!
Sigh! What do I do to my poor dashboard!!!

Ah, ha! Had to hunt elsewhere but found it and clicked on primary edition.

All done I hope. Thank you for your patience :)

Looks like that worked, as the edition now visible on your profile is the new one.
