new cover

[Nikki]

I'm trying to follow the discussions but I am confused. I created a new cover for my book THE FORMER ASSASSIN. Nothing else has changed. I plan to announce it over the weekend and on social media. Amazon has kindly begun to swap the book cover. I don't want "two editions" to show on Goodreads, just the same edition with its new cover. How do I do that? Here is the new cover, already up on Amazon (the print book will take a bit longer but the ebook cover is up). Thanks. https://www.amazon.com/Former-Assassi...

Goodreads does not delete old or out of print editions. I have created a new record for the current cover here:

So under "my books" the old cover will continue to show up? And I don't see the new cover at all. How odd that is.

Scott, when I click on Goodreads from Google, the old cover comes up. Is there ANY solution to this problem besides removing my profile from Goodreads altogether?

Thanks for your help and attention, Scott or whoever is reading this. I know how slowly metadata changes. I know how caches work. I DON'T know why Goodreads can't help as Amazon does in responding to requests to use the latest book cover. I also realize such details may not seem important-- except to the authors who make changes as advised and in hopes of attracting more readers-- but I suspect others would like to know how to make sure an updated book cover shows up. Otherwise, it's a lot of work for no reason.

Hi Nikki; sorry your message #3 got missed. Here are all your editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
And here is how to set the new one as default view: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

By the way, removing your profile would not remove the books. :-)
