Alex | 2736 comments #100 It is against GoodReads policy to remove any records for books that have ever been published, regardless of current publication status, as users wish to shelve the edition with the cover that they bought and read. GoodReads is a cataloging site, after all, not a bookseller.

However, as the author, you can set the default edition for a work (the one that appears in searches-by-title and on your author profile) by following the instructions here:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

You may also note out-of-print editions as such, however you MUST follow the guidelines posted here:

Summary from back cover:

YOUNG AT HEART

Virginia Carson had played the fool once, and that was enough. No more romance, she had decided -- just a sensible and chaste dedication to her grandmother.
But Marge, her grandmother, had other ideas--and they came in the dangerously seductive form of their neighbor Lucas Freeman. If the man with the flashy Porsche and the black-bottomed pool and the emerald-green eyes couldn't storm her defenses, what hope was there? And the plan worked. It was all Virginia could do to control her racing pulse when that maddening man was around. From the first fiery kiss, her body could not resist--and how could her heart not follow?

Katie Jones Goes To Washington
Suzanne Roberts
Paperback
189 pages
No ISBN
A Valentine Book #325
Prestige Books 1969
Cover uploaded
Summary from back cover below

Katie Jones was just one of hundreds of eager young Washington secretaries when ex-Senator Jonas Caldwell picked her as "Girl Friday" for his protege Michael Koury. If the people voted the way Mike's supporters wanted them to, the handsome young war hero would be the next senator from Katie's home state. An old-fashioned girl with old-fashioned political ideals -- she believed that Presidents were born and not made by the political machines behind them, for instance -- it took Katie a while to realize that, as his campaign progressed, Mike was behaving very much like a puppet on the string -- and that the puppeteer was Jonas Caldwell. When Tommy Ryan, a young reporter on the campaign train, warned Katie to get out before she got hurt, she might have taken his advice -- except it came too late, she had already fallen in love with Mike. And when she learned that Senator Caldwell was not only masterminding Mike's political moves but had even picked out the right "Senator's wife" for him, Katie was sure her heart would break.

Please add cover.

Also please add summary from back cover:

DEADLY PROMISE

Skye Fargo is carrying a badge of vengeance -- hot on the trail of vicious outlaw Johnny Ringo, who'd cold-bloodedly murdered a small-town marshal. Yet even as he promised the dying lawman he'd see justice done, Fargo knew the chase through the Lost River Range wouldn't be easy. Ringo wasn't about to swing from a noose, and he was ready to kill again to keep the Trailsman off his tail. But Fargo never left a job undone -- and not even a tempting vixen who offered him lusty diversion could keep him from finding the murderous desperado.

Fargo almost loses his hide tangling with a bunch of moonshine-crazed Indians and their fanatic minister leader, but his deadly promise spurs him on. For the Trailsman did not give up easily -- not when he had an itchy trigger finger and a bullet marked with Ringo's blood....

You wouldn't happen to be at all familiar with this author or her work, would you?

message 119: by Carli (new)

Carli Castle (carlicastle) | 10 comments So another edition has to be added, even though the text does not change, just the cover? I'm not sure I understand why.


message 120: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12295 comments Because people want to be able to shelve the exact edition they have read, including the same cover.

Carli Castle (carlicastle) | 10 comments Renske wrote: "Because people want to be able to shelve the exact edition they have read, including the same cover."

Okay, so I was instructed to add a new edition with the new cover, even though the text has not changed, and I did that. What happens to reviews and ratings? Can the information be merged, even if both editions remain separate? Not sure if I am explaining myself well enough.


message 122: by Alex (last edited Jan 14, 2015 01:02AM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments re 122: I've combined the books. There are now separate listings for each, but the reviews, ratings, etc. are shared, though still assigned to each separate edition.

I assume your new edition is retaining the same ASIN? When is the new cover coming out?

ETA: Added your series here:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1447...


message 123: by Carli (new)

Carli Castle (carlicastle) | 10 comments I am extremely confused now. You said the listings are separate, and reviews are shared, but the newest edition is not in my dashboard, and neither does it appear in searches. Is that what's supposed to happen? The newest cover is the permanent cover and will, most likely, not change. What should I do? This is such a mess.


message 124: by Alex (new)

Alex | 2736 comments re 124: Oops, sorry, can't say about the dashboard, as only the author themselves can see it, but I should have mentioned that, as the author, you can set the default edition of a work (the one that appears in searches-by-title and on your profile) by following the instructions here:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

And yes, that's supposed to happen, and only the default (usually most popular edition, unless set otherwise by the primary author or GR staff) shows up in searches. Except, when searching using an identifier (ISBN/ASIN/BNID etc.) in which case the associated edition comes up.

Is the ASIN remaining the same after all? The newest cover isn't on Amazon yet; is that meant to happen today?


message 125: by Carli (new)

Carli Castle (carlicastle) | 10 comments Yes, the new cover should finish publishing on Amazon within the next few hours. Everything is the same, as far as the book goes, except for the cover.

Alex | 2736 comments #130 Do you have an edition without an ISBN? If so, can you confirm the page number?


message 138: by Alex (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #131 It is against GoodReads policy to delete any cover that has ever been distributed in any format. Instead, Alternate Cover Editions (ACEs) are made. I've made the ACE for your Kindle Edition here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

As the author, you can set the default edition (the one that appears in searches-by-title and on your author profile) by following the instructions here:

Alex | 2736 comments #132 The link you provided was for a different ISBN. That book's ISBN brings up this page on Amazon:

Do you own that particular edition of that book, with that ISBN, and can you confirm its cover?

#137 Done.

Just as a side note, it would be easier for us librarians if you linked to the amazon sale page itself, so we can confirm the matching ISBNs, or if you stated that you owned the book and could confirm that the covers were identical in your request.

No, I don´t own that particular edition, but I own the newest edition of it. The link goes to the title who was published by another publisher.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #145 - Done.

I did use that cover eventhough you linked to a different edition, since when looking at the book preview it specified that ISBN.

Kris (kahsch) | 5 comments Alex wrote: "#130 Do you have an edition without an ISBN? If so, can you confirm the page number?"

Don't own it yet, sorry. Just realized there's another edition with ISBN, now I'm confused by the different title of that edition though. Will let you know once I have it at home, if that helps?

Carli Castle (carlicastle) | 10 comments My new cover went live on Amazon. I would really like it if when the book was searched for on Goodreads, the new cover appeared, instead of the old. Last night the info was merged, but the new cover completely disappeared from my dashboard and from search results.

Alex | 2736 comments #147 That would be great, thank you. Changed the title of that edition. That other title was the title under which the issues were previously released.
