Cameo | 98 comments I apologize if this has been asked already:

Am I supposed to list my source every time I make a change to a book, now that there are restrictions on which sites we can use to get book information from?

For example, I just added the newly released book cover for this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

I found the image on the author's Facebook page, but it's also on Amazon. I couldn't find it anywhere else. Is Amazon going to think the image was sourced from them unless it's spelled out somewhere that it wasn't?

I'm confused! Please help.

Lobstergirl You will appear as the source of the image. It doesn't know where you got the image from. You are only supposed to input a link for a source on the book rescue page, under the radio button for it (so, only once per book you rescue).

(And, the source you link to should be an ISBN source; it doesn't matter if you get the image from somewhere else which is not the same link as that ISBN source.)
