Ramona Boldizsar (ramonaboldizsar) | 12 comments Hello! Could anyone please help me add a cover to a book I just added on GR? I uploaded a picture as well, but for some reason it didn’t work and now the book is pictureless. Help, please, if you can.

Here’s the book in question: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And here is the cover: https://ibb.co/M6jhQ73
(I uploaded it on ImgBB because I‘m not sure if I can link the publisher‘s site, since they also sell the book there).

Thank you so much for your help!

You should not be adding books by other authors if you are not a librarian.

I see. But I‘ve been adding books for a long while with no problem (as an author, but I also work for a publisher and so I add the books we publish). I usually don‘t have this problem and I’m careful about the details.
I will be adding two links, because I have this problem with another book I‘ve added (it‘s a poetry collection I edit).

Here is the other book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And the links to the 2 of them (to the publisher site):
1. https://www.edituracartex.ro/produs/p...
2. https://www.edituracartex.ro/produs/i...

Martin | 37020 comments I can't find details such as ISBN there? Librarians need to confirm details before adding covers.

As far as I am aware authors should only add their own works to the database, there should be some sort of instructions available to tell you what editing abilities you have and how to use them.

Ramona Boldizsar (ramonaboldizsar) | 12 comments If you click on „Informații suplimentare” (Additional information) you can see the ISBN and other details (ISBN is titled as „Cod de bare” there). The ISBN is also on the fourth cover (the second picture on the website). Thank you very much for your help!
