Abbie (abbielynnsmith) | 19 comments We are having issues with our book. Is it possible to combine the two editions of this book?

We are also receiving an error that says only librarians can delete photos. We put a place holder image until our cover reveal, and now the cover has been revealed and we are having trouble updating it.

Scott | 9082 comments The books are already combined. I have removed the placeholders.


message 3: by Abbie (new)

Abbie (abbielynnsmith) | 19 comments I think my concern about combining them is can't it be made into one page instead of two?


message 4: by Scott (new)

Scott | 9082 comments No, they are two distinct formats.

One is an ebook edition with an ISBN and one is a Kindle edition with an ASIN. Is the ebook sold with that ISBN on platforms other than Amazon?


message 6: by Abbie (new)

Abbie (abbielynnsmith) | 19 comments Yes, it is sold in other ebook formats with that ISBN. My coauthor set it up the same way she set up her prior release (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...) and it doesn't have multiple pages. Is there anything that can be done?


message 7: by Scott (new)

Scott | 9082 comments There is nothing to be done. They are combined, as all books on GR are combined, with their other formats as separate but linked pages.

I corrected the ISBN on that book, which was truncated. There are four editions of that book that are combined into one listing.
Goodreads Authors can set the primary edition that shows on their profiles by following these directions:
