Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20399 comments Don't forget to include a link to book page which includes the cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc.; we need to check/verify the book's details, e.g. isbn and/or asin, etc. etc.
If linking to a site such as Imgur, Dropbox, etc. please state the original source of the image. No B&N or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data, with the exception of Amazon and its subsidiaries.

For more details about what sources we can use for covers and other book data, please see: Acceptable sources for covers and book data.

We don't just need just a cover image, but we need an acceptable link to a NON-BOOKSELLER'S bookpage enabling us to check/verify the book's details, e.g. isbn and/or asin, cover image etc. etc.

Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy of the cover and the page with the publication information, the book's colofon page.
You can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new), sectie More photos.. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
