Jono (jonohey) | 4 comments Hello,

My book Big Ideas Little Pictures had a very early Goodreads listing from before it was published. It used a placeholder version of the cover that was never used. The book has since been published (first edition) with a different cover.

I'd be grateful if a librarian could replace the cover that was never used with the correct cover.

Here is a link to the correct cover that was downloaded directly from the Amazon.com listing using the guidelines for better image quality:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CcR1...

As an author, I tried to do this, but I only had the option to delete the cover, and I couldn't do this without being a librarian.

I saw the note at the bottom of the help article about replacing placeholder images so I think this is OK and why I am asking here:
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
"Placeholder cover images

There is only one exception to the rule about removing a cover from an existing edition: any obvious placeholder covers may be removed or replaced. Most placeholders will have a statement on them like "official cover coming soon" or "cover not yet available" or a similar notation.

If you are unsure whether a specific cover qualifies for this exception, please start a thread in the Librarians Group for assistance."

Thanks so much for your help in getting the listing correct so people can recognise the book on Goodreads.

Jono

Jono (jonohey) | 4 comments Hi, is anyone able to help me with this? I can't make the change and it seems that unless we do a new edition it will forever be wrong otherwise. Many thanks. Jono

Jono (jonohey) | 4 comments Hello, just trying to bump this up again if anyone is able to look at it. I'd be so grateful (it's been wrong for 6 months).

tl;dr
Here's the correct cover downloaded from Amazon:

Jono (jonohey) | 4 comments Amazing. Thank you so much, Martin. You've made my day =)

I still see the old one at times, but I guess that will disappear in a bit once caches sort themselves out.

Thanks!
