Mixups with Cloud Atlas alternative covers and editions

[Petri]

Noticed that my old review of the book had changed. The original cover for 2012 hard cover is this

or this

but it was changed to the blue cloud one that is in the topic info. The blue cloud 20th anniversary edition should be made alternative cover and the isbn should be related to the original edition, right? The ISBN 9780812994711 is correct but cover is for an alternate edition.

Original isbn is for the cover in two links with "strange" editions. Not sure what those are.

Can someone check this and fix or help me figure out how to do it?

Most likely you reviewed a bad book record - which both of the above are - and it was merged into a proper record. Just look at all editions and click "switch to this editions" on the one you want.

My review is of the correct ISBN book but the cover on it is wrong. The original is the one in the "bad links" and the 20th anniversary one is an alternate cover for the same isbn.

I have the physical copy at hand with the correct isbn but the cover is the same as in the bad links and the cover has at some point been replaced with the blue cloud cover, which is an alternative one.

If the ISBN has been moved to a newer edition, you'll just have to look for the older one. On the editions page you can filter to hardcovers, and sort by date, which should make it a bit easier.

I don't know if I'm explaining this right.

On goodreads manual: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

it says that "ACEs exist as it is not possible to upload multiple covers of a book on a single edition, and changing the cover of an existing edition that is not a Kindle or Audible Audio edition is a violation of Goodreads policy."

That has been done to ISBN 9780812994711

Shouldn't the "new cover" with the cloud on blue sky be done as an ACE edition to the same ISBN with the original staying as is?

[Petri]

Ok, I fixed it. The anniversary was published on the same ISBN so changed to original to be the "alternate cover" version of the book and linked the librarian notes. Should be ok now.
