Marilyn Peake (marilynpeake) | 11 comments Hello,

I need to have a new version of one of my books that now has an updated format and a new book cover added to Goodreads: The Fisherman's Son (ASIN: B004TAW24Y). Here's the new version on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fishermans-Son...

Thank You,
Marilyn Peake

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments If you'd prefer to have a librarian add the book for you, please make your request in the Adding New Books & Editions folder. We are currently working through a significant backlog of requests, however, so we appreciate your patience.

I tried that and was told I needed a Super Librarian to add my books that have new covers and new formats because the old versions are already on Goodreads.

You were given incorrect information. This is the folder you need:

I was given that information by a Goodreads Librarian.

OK, I added my request to that folder. Thanks.

If you can point us to the relevant discussion, we can look into correcting the information provided by the librarian.

It was in a reply email from Goodreads when I reported by email that Goodreads wouldn't allow me to add a new version of my book.

Scott | 8665 comments That explains it. You were given the information by a staff member, not a librarian.

Ah. Thanks. The problem's been fixed now.
