Kendall Williams (149632729-kendall-williams) | 3 comments Hello Librarians,

I am the author Kendall Williams and I need assistance combining editions of my book. I have three editions of the same book/content that need to be combined into a single 'work' so that all reviews and ratings aggregate.

Here are the details for each edition:

Edition 1 (eBook, previous cover):
ISBN: 9798885266314 (Note: Shares ISBN with eBook Edition 3, but has new cover)
Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Edition 2 (Paperback, previous cover):
ISBN: 9798885266253
Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Edition 3 (Paperback, latest cover):
ISBN: 979-8885266253 (Note: Shares ISBN with Edition 2, but has new cover) ASIN: B0F9CQZZNZ
Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

My Request:

Please combine all three of these editions into a single Goodreads 'work'.
Once combined, please ensure that the Edition 3 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is set as the default edition for this work.

This should allow all reviews to appear across all editions and ensure the correct edition is displayed on my author profile and dashboard.

Thank you for your help!

Only you can set the default edition.


Kendall Williams (149632729-kendall-williams) | 3 comments Dear Librarians,

Thank you for making recent changes that combined all three editions into a single Goodreads work. All three now show all the reviews, however the wrong edition is showing in my author profile and dashboard.

Here is the edition that is now showing:

Edition 1 (eBook, previous cover):
ISBN: 9798885266314
Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Here is the edition that should be showing with the new cover:

Edition 3 (eBook, latest cover):
ISBN: 979-8885266314
Goodreads URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

However please NOTE:

The way it shows on Amazon (the only published location) the eBook and the Paperback have two different ISBNs as follows:

eBook ISBN: ‎ 979-8885266314
Amazon eBook URL: https://www.amazon.com/THING-Between-...

Paperback ISBN: 979-8885266253
Amazon Paperback URL: https://www.amazon.com/THING-Between-...

You will see that both eBook and Paperback have the same cover. This is how it should show on my Author Profile/Dashboard.

Almost there.

Thanks again for your help

You can find instructions for setting your preferred default edition in the Help section.
