Dear Librarians, May I ask you for a help with changing the cover photo of my book. The book is this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I would like to remove the current photo and replace it with better quality cover photo of the book, which I have uploaded in "more photos", here:
https://www.goodreads.com/photo/work/...
I would be very thankful, if you could please help me with this!
Thank you in advance!

bumpI'm bumping this up because someone elses book was fixed but not mine, even though this was my original thread and they posted on it.
Thank you so much GR Librarians :-)
The cover uploaded originally had no border and didn't look correct. I have since uploaded a better one. Is it possible to change the one in 'more photos' to be the default image? Many thanks.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Hi Brenda,I see that your book hasn't been published yet. Have you distributed any advanced reader copies, either ebook or physical format, with the old, borderless cover?
Also, next time you'll probably get a faster response if you start a new thread. It's only by sheer accident that I stumbled upon yours on this one. Thanks!
Hi Z-squared.Thanks for your reply.
You'll see that the e-book has a border, it's only the print version that doesn't.
I have not distributed the print version at all yet.

Ok, thanks for the clarification!First thing to note: I swapped out the covers on the print edition, so now it has a black border.
Second thing to note: as primary author, you have the ability to set the default edition to whichever cover you'd like. Right now, the default edition (the one that appears on your profile) is the kindle edition with the grey border. If you'd like to change that (now or in the future), just follow these instructions:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Please note that Goodreads librarians can't set the default edition for you, only authors with claimed profiles.
Third thing to note: the 'more photos' section is explicitly NOT a place for alternate covers. I have deleted the bordered cover from that section.
Were you planning on uploading a new cover with a black border to Amazon for the kindle edition as well? Right now, the cover here (and on Amazon) has a partial grey border.
Thanks for all of that, Z-squared.I am leaving the e-book with the grey border on both Amazon and Goodreads.

Dear librarians,My ebook My Melancholic Diary recently changed cover on Amazon (http://amzn.com/B00P6J6EKA). Otherwise everything remains the same.
Could you please advise me how to change the cover here on goodreads?
Thank you so very much for your help!
Best wishes,

#14 - You can create a new ACE (Alternate Cover Edition) by clicking on the "add a new edition" link on the book page. You would not enter the ISBN/ASIN, since it needs to stay attached to the original edition.You can then set the default edition people will see.
Here is how to set your Default Edition.

If you would like one of us can always do it also.

I just need the one that's there deleted. I have an official one now.
#16/19/20 - Since you stated it has never been given out with that cover, I have removed the cover. You should be able to upload the new cover now.
