(The cover of this book has to be added to the book below)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Thanks inadvance!

I always dislike it, if people when they add a book to the database don't include a picture.
That's why i ask here!

Michael MacKian (MichaelMack) | 2 comments I successfully added a cover to one of my existing books, but now I can't find how I did it, and I have more scanned images waiting to be attached to their books. I must be missing something obvious - please advise!

Laura Hart (lobopub) | 6 comments My book, The Toy Sorcerer, had a cover image last week, but since the Amazon feed has gone, the image is no longer showing. I can't work out how to upload one from my PC database via my author profile page. Help, please!

message 18: by Iluzija (new)

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments it is there, click on edit details and it is on the right side. But how do you know it is the right edition of the book, there is no ISBN or publication details.


message 19: by Laura (new)

Laura Hart (lobopub) | 6 comments Okay, I went in and edited the information - added isbn and cover - now there are two listings of the same book; the Amazon listing with its reviews and my 'rescued' insertion with no ratings or reviews! So, I need to delete the duplicate. Good thing I'm not a librarian, eh?
How does one delete the duplicate without deleting the entire listing?


message 20: by Iluzija (new)

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments you need to separate books from everything else, combine them with each other and then delete one of the books that is not to be kept. it will transfer everything to the other edition. you can delete book if it has less than 5 ratings, I think, or give it to super-librarian.

Hi Iluzija - I've now added the ISBN, description etc to the Amazon imported listing, which is on the Kindle edition. The second listing is with the paperback ISBN which doesn't have any reviews as it's only just available - however it's the same book . . . Is it prudent to delete one of the listings? Not sure of the form


message 22: by Lil' (new)

Lil' Violet I'm not an author so they are not my books however I noticed a few books on my TBR list lost their covers http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/94... <-- yet the other covers are there just not for the hard cover and it was

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... <--- the summery for this one as well as the cover went poof however they may be making a new cover so thats not as big a deal as the missing summery that was there

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... <--- missing its cover

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... <---- missing it's cover and summery

Now I get that some books just don't have covers or summaries yet however these did and some are even out and have been for a while and it annoys me to see them good poof out of the blue like that


message 23: by Iluzija (new)

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments no, no deleting books that have different ISBNs, only same books get deleted, 2 ISBNs are 2 books. Give it time, people will rate it. Only combine them.

That doesn't explain the missing summaries when it is clear there are no other copies and there were covers and summaries before though in the case of hallow earth I realize they may be revamping the cover but that doesn't explain why the summary dissapered


message 25: by Iluzija (new)

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments My post is the answer to Laura's. I don't know what to tell you about summaries other than get them again. They were imported from Amazon and they were deleted. Maybe they will import them again from some other place, maybe not. If you want them, go to library and write them again.

Brie (briesbooks) | 18 comments Could someone please add this cover image (http://www.worldcat.org/title/4-perce...) to this edition of the book (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...) please? Thanks!


message 27: by Patricia (new)

Patricia Kirk | 6 comments Two of the books I reviewed lost their covers and wonder if you could replace them. I have cover art on my website, Christians Read: Books Review. Those two books are Beyond the Farthest Star by Bodie and Brock Thoene and Sentenced to Life by Kay Baker.

Also the cover to my book disappeared. Please find that cover at One Touch from the Maker

Thank you.

Thanks inadvance!


message 30: by Nada (new)

Nada (nada-sadek) | 1077 comments Done!


message 31: by Lou (new)

Lou (liee) | 15 comments Adding an *alternate cover* means adding a new edition of a book with that alternate cover. Could you explain more carefully, Kouk, what needs to be done?


message 32: by Kouk (new)

Kouk | 75 comments Well, i wanted to add a book with picture but the Isbn was already there with a previous edition.


My edition came out this month.

I hope you understand?


message 33: by Lou (new)

Lou (liee) | 15 comments Then you add the book without the ISBN and a librarian should make a librarian note (or you can add the note to the description too) of it that it is an alternate cover edition of ISBN xxxx.

But I understand there wasn't already cover pic for the edition you linked? And because only cover I see with the same ISBN is the one you wanted it shouldn't be a problem to add that, so I did.

Sorry for the long rant, lol!


message 34: by Kouk (new)

Kouk | 75 comments Okay, thanks!

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Fantastic Fiction is not an appropriate website for book covers, but I found it on another, appropriate, site.

So done.


message 40: by Kouk (new)

Kouk | 75 comments Thanks for putting it up!

Sorry that isn't a write website but i didn't know that.


message 41: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments It's okay. Just letting you know that bookselling websites are not appropriate sources.

I thought Fantastic Fiction only provides links to various sellers for the books in their database, not sell the books themselves. If so, that would make them more along the lines of Goodreads than a bookseller; wouldn't it?

IIRC, they get much of their data from Amazon, and therefore we can't use it, as it is considered an "Amazon derivative".

Not arguing, just confused and trying to understand the reasoning - why can't "Amazon derivatives" be used? I understand that they get their information from Amazon. But they themselves are not Amazon and it would seem that once they've made the information public, they become the source for the information and not Amazon itself. I guess what I'm saying is that I see it as being a situation similar to what occurs when we ask someone to provide the information for a new book. For all we know, the information they provide may come straight from Amazon; yet we can use it because we (the librarians) got it from here and not Amazon itself. What difference am I missing?


message 49: by Alaina (new)

Alaina Stanford (alainastanford) | 1 comments Could you please add a cover and publishing date of Sept 2012 to When Magic Fails by Alaina StanfordWhen Magic Fails

That doesn't help. LibraryThing is not an ok source either.

Only publishers and authors have the right to distribute their cover images; libraries are more complex, but generally ok. Most other sites are not, as a general rules of thumb.
