Your Amazon link is for an edition which already has good coverhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Yes. The version in the link I sent has a cover, but it’s very low quality - super blurry. Did you get to see it, or is it only blurry on my end? It’s blurry on my iPhone and my computer. Was suggesting perhaps a clearer image be used. Thanks.
It is blurry, if you can provide a correct and acceptable source for a better cover it can be replaced.We cannot use the image from your Amazon source as that is for a different edition.
You’ve previously told me World Cat is no good. Other librarians have told me if not World Cat, only use Amazon. But Amazon’s version of an ebook is Kindle, which you are not telling me is unacceptable. Happy to try another source, but could you help me out and let me know what sources are acceptable? I would like to follow the rules, but rules feel unclear. Thanks!
Acceptable sources detailed here https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...The source you use also needs to be correct for the edition you want updated.
Hi Martin. That was helpful. Thanks. Here's the link to the cover from the author's website. Is this acceptable? https://www.stevenrowley.com/the-guncleThanks.
That would be an acceptable source but it gives no issue details so we cannot confirm that it is a correct image for that edition.
Hi Martin. Why is this so difficult? You can see from the fuzzy cover that it’s the same one as the two others I’ve provided. I’m not trying to cheat the rules. I’m trying to follow the rules and help make the app a more pleasing experience. The book is no longer on the publisher’s website. I’ve gone through all the other sources. What other choices do I have left? If you point me to the right and available source, I will gladly get it from Google. At this point, I really feel like I don’t know what else to do. What did you advise? Thanks.
It is not difficult.If you can provide a correct and acceptable source we can replace the image, if not just leave it as it is.
If anybody owns that edition and wants to add it to their bookshelves they can provide a better image, if they don't own that edition they can use one with a better cover.
Can I upload to you the image from my Libby app? That's clearly an ebook.
Could a clearer image be uploaded please? Here's the one from Amazon for Kindle/ebook: https://a.co/d/cO9crsR
Thank you,
