Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 24 comments I've just followed my book's link to Amazon UK from Goodreads but it doesn't take me to my book page. It takes me to a list of other books with the same or similar names and my One Dark Night is some way down the page.

Would you please change the link to the direct book page.

Thank you.

Emily | 17802 comments The only one that will connect directly to your book page is the one that has the ASIN.
You can set that one to be the default edition by following these steps:

message 3: by Scott (new)

Scott | 11051 comments That is the old edition. You need to use the current one, which is here:

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

Direct links to Amazon only work if there is an ASIN or ISBN on the record.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 24 comments Thank you, Emily and Scott.

Emily, I followed that link but it said that only Librarians can set the default edition.

Scott has correctly identified the latest cover which links directly to the Amazon page for the book but that cover (red) is not the default one, even though I want it to be.

It seems that I need a Librarian to set the default position to be the red cover and then it will link to Amazon.

Will a Librarian be able to do that for me please?

It does not. It clearly states: Only Goodreads Authors can set the default edition at this time.

Librarians cannot set the default edition.If you are having difficulty doing so, you will need to use the Contact Us link.

Shawn Corey | 3 comments THE NATURE OF THE BEASTS My book's link to Amazon.ca goes to a search page.

Please change the link to the correct Amazon page.

Thank you very much.

Use this one instead:

Start a new thread for any future concerns.


message 8: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17802 comments See message 3. The ISBN must be on the edition for it to go to the book.
This thread is about a particular book at the top, so if you need more assistance please start a new thread.

You are absolutely right. It must have been my wishful thinking.
