Removing book descriptions

[Bella]

Hello. I've unpublished all my books (very few sold) and will be relaunching revised books with a new pen name, new title, new cover. In order to avoid confusion between the old and new books, I'd like to remove as much information as I can from the old books, such as book descriptions, book covers, reviews, etc. Is this possible?

Thank you.

Hi, no, this isn't possible as it's against Goodreads policies to remove valid information. You may indicate that the book is out-of-print in the description but you should not replace or delete the existing description. You should follow the guidelines stated here https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Can I change the status to 'out-of-print' or 'title unavailable' or does a librarian need to do that for me?

There's no status to change. Just add that the book is out-of-print to the existing description. You can do it yourself or ask a librarian to do it for you. Make a request in 'Book & Author Page Issues' with links to the relevant books, specify your preferred formatting, and indicate whether you want this information added at the beginning/top or at the bottom/end of the description.
