Joshua Penn (joshuapenn) | 4 comments Hi! May I please have the cover of this ebook:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

updated to match the cover of this paperback?:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And can I also have the paperpack set as the primary version please? Thank you and have a great day!

Also, if i may, why can I edit the details on my ebook but not my paperback? Thanks again!

Josh

Librarians cannot set primary editions, author can do this.

Thank you! I was hoping to avoid adding another edition for the ebook but i went ahead and did that anyway.

I can only edit the metadata of my paperback, but it looks like i have full librarian access for my ebook. I've looked through FAQs here but havent found a solution.

To set the default, edit the edition you want, and use the link or button to set it as default.

Joshua Penn (joshuapenn) | 4 comments Thanks! Yep, I see that on the ebook but I have no option to edit anything on my paperback besides the metadata. When Im on the ebook, I have the Edit Book Details button and the circle with the 3 dots. However on the paperback, I do not have that option.

The only way for me to get to the paperback details is to go through the ebook, click edit, click combine editions, and then on that screen I have an edit button on the paperback. However, it takes me to the metadata which is all i have access to change. Do you know why that is?

Scott | 9302 comments You changed the author name. I have fixed it. Please don't edit it or it will move off your profile again.
