Hi! I'm changing the title and cover of my book ahead of the March 17 release; the ISBN and description will remain the same. The new title is A Feast of Phantoms (I have not uploaded the new book yet to Goodreads). How should I handle the change? If possible I'd like to just edit the existing page since people have shelved it to-read, but I'd rather not make this an alternate cover edition since the title has changed too and it would be confusing.... Thanks so much for your advice! Kat

Have you released any ARCs with the old cover & title?

So I've added the new cover as an alt cover, but I need to delete the original cover with the incorrect title (the ISBN has been reassigned to the new title at Bowker). Is that possible, and is this the right place to be asking? Thanks again everyone!This is the old version: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The record could have just been edited, but now it will have to be merged into the new one.

It has a lot of adds so a superlibrarian will have to do it.
ok thx - do I start a new thread to request that here? or just wait on this one? sorry, I haven't had a lot of complicated changes to previous books, I'm still figuring the protocol to get help :)
