April (sookyean1990) | 9 comments I would like to add an edition of this book but since it is a proprietary edition (Dolly Parton's Imagination Library) of this book, I have no clue where to find an image, a website, etc for it. Help? This is also a question applied to this kind of proprietary edition situation in general. Thank you!

Renske | 12219 comments I'm not familiar enough with these books to know if they are valid to add on Goodreads. But for a valid book, a valid source for the cover and data can also be a copy of the book, so a photo or a scan of the cover.

Proprietary = exclusive/custom edition only available from them

It's a book a month club for kids run by a charity Dolly Parton set up. You have to register for it though so technically it doesn't qualify as a valid edition on GR due to the registration requirement.

"Each month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate customized book to all registered children."

It's also not available everywhere to the general public. There is a website to check availability and this is what you see when it's not available in your area:

Dolly Parton´s Imagination Library is currently unavailable in your area.
Click New Program Alert to be notified when the program becomes available.


Here is the registration screen if the program is available in your area:
