Penny Hampson | 6 comments Please could the spelling mistake in my series title be corrected? It shows as 'Gemtlemen' when it should be Gentlemen. Thank you.

Penny Hampson | 6 comments The latest A Gentleman's Promise is a rewritten, re-edited version of the first edition (which is no longer available). I do not want the poor reviews of the 1st edition to be attached to the 2nd edition, so would prefer if they were kept separate please. I have added a note to the description of the 1st edition to say that there is a now a new edition. Thank you for correcting the spelling mistake.

Penny Hampson | 6 comments Scott, please do not link my books. I didn't ask you to do that and another Goodreads librarian has kindly spent time today putting them back to as they were. Thank you for your understanding.

Goodreads policy is for edited/revised editions to be combined with the original editions into a single work.

Edits contrary to policy have been reverted.

As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will show on your author profile. Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Penny Hampson | 6 comments Thank you for explaining the policy, Rivka. But if I set the new edition as the default for this title, will the reviews (which were for the first edition) be visible? The new edition is a much improved story and with a different publisher, so it seems a little unfair if the reviews of the old version show up, making potential readers think that they are for the new book. Please would you advise? Many thanks.

Scott | 9652 comments Reviews are shared among all editions.

The descriptions and the edition information makes this clear.
