Sorry Jeff this one is showing with a different cover on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B08C8XFQMN...

I had a quick look & can't see this cover on Goodreads for an audible edition. I tried Amazon.com & Amazon.au for this cover.

If your cover is the same as Amazon's you can request a ACE be added in the Book Issues folder.

Jeff | 974 comments I had actually posted about the cover image here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The image currently on Goodreads looks like a placeholder cover to me, very generic other than the "Recorded Books" logo. This edition just came out in September 2020 - is it possible to see when that image was added (to Goodreads)? I suspect that image was from before this edition was released. Could the image be updated if that is the case, or would I still need to request an ACE?

In any case, can't the page count be added based on the ASIN? I apologize if I'm not 100% clear on the guidelines. And thank you for all the other page count updates!

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2298 comments This edition with this cover was added 6th of July 2020 by a librarian. The cover looks home made, but I don't know. You can query with Support (staff) if you want.

Librarians have to follow strict guidelines. The cover & ISBN/ASIN must match for any changes we make. Librarians who don't follow the rules risk losing their Librarian privileges.

You can ask in the Book Issues Folder for an ACE to be created for you. Sorry, this is the last day (I hope!) I'm doing the page count backlog for a while, as I am going away in a few days. (as long as NZ doesn't go up in the alert levels again!)

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments I do quite a bit of work with audiobooks and recognize this cover image as a placeholder commonly used by Recorded Books. I responded to your cover-replacement request: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2298 comments Other librarians

I've talked to some experienced librarians - who think it is a pre-pub cover & would be ok for removal.

Would anyone feel comfortable doing that?


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2298 comments We crossed over Dobby!

Thanks so much! I have so little experience with audible audio editions I just didn't want to do it. :)

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments No problem, Carol. And it's always best to err on the conservative side!

btw, I added the listening length. Goodreads policy is to round up, so the 11 hours and 15 minutes rounds up to 12 hours.


message 10: by Jeff (new) - added it

Jeff | 974 comments Hi. Thank you both so much!

One issue, though. The length for this edition is 10 hours, 25 minutes, which I had rounded up to 11. There's another audible edition (older, with different narrator) with a time of 11 hours, 5 minutes. Perhaps you ended up on that page somehow (and a typo - 15 vs. 5)? When I click the link in message 3, it goes to the 10:25 edition, but I've seen things get re-directed in strange ways before.

It shows on Amazon at 10 hours 25 min for me as well, so I have changed to 11. :)
