selja (seljarauni) | 1 comments I noticed someone had changed the covers of some books I'd shelved, because a new edition of the book came out with a different cover but using the same ISBN. As per the Librarian Manual, in those cases you need to create a new edition/an alternate cover edition. The Manual explicitly states that it is against Goodreads Policy to remove or replace the covers of existing editions. I flagged the edits and reverted them, explaining why, but only a few hours later the same Librarian had changed them back... I flagged the new edits as well, but from past experience I'm not super confident most flags actually get reviewed... What should I do?

Since you have already tried explaining to the librarian concerned, the only thing you can do is contact Support.

Edit; for future reference you need to choose a folder first, then make a post. Otherwise your post will disappear from view very quickly.
