Mike | 119 comments Can anyone tell me why the cover does not show up on the edition page, for the following book.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It does, however, show up on the edit page and book shelf.

Have seen this many times before. Pretty much just have to replace the cover with the exact same cover to fix it.

Mike | 119 comments Thanks! I was going to do that, but couldn't find a way to upload the pic, only the thumbnail. Were you able to upload it, or did you take a new one from Amazon or the like?

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments I saved the one from the book edit page, but when I checked it was exactly the same as the one on Amazon so I grabbed it since it was better quality.

You have to delete the old one on the book edit page, before you can upload the new one.

Mike | 119 comments When you save the photo from the book edit page, you only get the thumbnail. It will always look worse.

I've replaced the photo for other books. I just wondered if we were doing it the long long way and maybe a setting was off.

Admin and the mod can see this post, so I'm sure they will speak up if there's a short cut.

I don't see the quality of the one already posted as being of any comparison, anyway, if it doesn't show up. It could be 3D and mint and would still be useless.

Click through to the page that has all three sizes. You can usually snag the middle size; most often it is only the large size that is corrupted.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Sorry, I should have mentioned that, since it is what I have been doing.

Mike | 119 comments I normally, just hit the Amazon link. The others are too blurry, unless amazon's pic is even worse, not the same or they don't have one.

The main thing is, we're doing it right! There is no way to correct the corrupted pic, it has to be re-uploaded. Cheers'
