The link to Amazon on my Goodreads page is not linking properly. It currently sends to an error page. How do you set up this link so it will correctly go to Amazon?

David Fine | 7 comments I think I found the problem. I seem to have 2 different pages.

One that just shows the 2nd updated version and the other showing the first and second edition

The one you saw is the one that is working to get to Amazon but doesn't seemed to be linked to my account or show the original version.

Here are the two links below for Goodreads.

Old version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

New Version: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Is there a way to fix this?

Scott | 8979 comments The "old edition" has a bad ISBN and is a duplicate. I have set it to merge (delete).

The other editions are now properly combined.

David Fine | 7 comments Hi

I only have 2 editions. The old one from 2017 with the green cover and the new one which has a red cover was released in 2020. I now have two of the red covers and one green cover showing up on my page.

I need the red cover that had the wrong isbn number to be deleted off the account. Only showing 2 versions, the new one which shows up on Amazon(Red Cover) and the original version (Green Cover.)

My author page now only shows the green version and nothing else

Scott | 8979 comments As I mentioned in Msg. No. 5, the duplicate edition with the red cover is being deleted.

David Fine | 7 comments I'm not sure I understand. I now can't access the new version from my author dashboard page. It was there before.


message 9: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8979 comments If you go to any edition page, the other editions will show under the book description. You can click "all editions" to see all of them.

as the author you can set the default edition to show up on your page:

David Fine | 7 comments I'm not sure if the deletion is done yet, but when I go on my dashboard the green version, which is the old version comes up, and the other two red versions are down below. Should I wait for the bad red one to disappear before writing back


message 12: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8979 comments Please give it some time. On the page Suzi linked, you can see that there are only two editions.

David Fine | 7 comments Thanks. It seems to be fine now. Just waiting for the ghost red version to disappear.
