John David (johndavidauthor) | 16 comments I apologize in advance as I am sure this is a very common question/issue.

I am an author, I have an "author profile" set up here, but I am unable to edit or add any of my titles, because I am not a "librarian."

My first title, "Ten Questions - The Insider's Guide to Saving Money on Auto Insurance" somehow appears TWICE on goodreads, both versions display the old "classic" cover, and my original intention was to remove the duplicate, then update the information to include the NEW cover, and the updated version, which is 74,pages, not 54, etc.

http://www.amazon.com/Ten-Questions-I...

Secondly, I would like to add my other SIX ebooks to my author profile, but I do not have the "rights" to do so, apparently, plus I do not have ISBN's, only ASIN's for them. They are as follows:

B0077W2EE4

B007JNP6GY

B006RO3NDO

B0072IBJGM

B0079O9ZCO

B007JNHTZU

All of my titles are found here, on my Amazon Author page:

http://www.amazon.com/John-David/e/B0...

I thank anyone and everyone in advance for any assistance/advice!

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments We are unfortunately unable to use any references to amazon data.

Please supply non book seller links for title, date of publication, cover art, publisher and we can upload them


message 3: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re Ten Questions:

We do not update covers, if the book is published with one cover which is then updated we create an alternate cover edition if no new ISBN or ASIN is allocated. If there is a new ISBN or ASIN then we create a new edition with the new cover and information.

People want the edition with cover of the book they read bought) on their shelves.

If you can supply a non amazon cover it can be uploaded

John David (johndavidauthor) | 16 comments Hmmmm:

"Non book seller links."

I'd say my own website:

http://www.johndavidauthor.com/

but then, I, too, am a "book seller."

Thanks anyway!

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Your website is fine since you are the author - non bookseller as in amazon, B&N etc

Edit: Spoke to soon there are no saveable images that I can find on the site and no other book information that can be used to complete the book data required to add new editions


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) Correct me if I'm wrong Paula, but since you're the author, John, you should be able to provide here the Title, Author, Description, Published Date, Publisher for each of your books. Also the ASIN was probably given to you via email or other notification when you added your books to Amazon. You can also upload the covers to the "additional photos" section of your GR profile for a librarian to access. That way we avoid violating a commercial booksellers T of C, but still get your books added. :)

"Ten Questions . . . Hidden Discounts Revealed discusses how to crack down on one's auto insurance bill . . . . From finding discounts, improving one's rating, and much more . . . Ten Questions is an excellent and much recommended pick for anyone struggling with their auto insurance."

-The Midwest Book Review

Willis M. Buhle
Reviewer

How much do you pay for your car insurance? If you are reading this, the answer is most likely "too much!" You are looking for information that will help you save your hard-earned dollars, and you have found it.

Ten Questions is not a book for "dummies," but it is an easy to use, half-hour read, specifically designed to help save you money.

It is absolutely guaranteed to do just that. If you do not find any benefit in Ten Questions, (no matter which version you buy) simply return it for a full refund.

Find out what the insurance companies don't want you to know, like the fact that you can switch carriers any time you want, as often as you want. You do not have to wait until your current policy renews or expires in order to do so.

Ten Questions isn't about getting the cheapest policy at the cheapest price. It's about getting the best policy at the best price, and here's how:

It will help you find and qualify for discounts.
It will show you how to improve your rating tier, and lower your "base rate."
It will help you allocate your premium dollars more effectively, so that you don't spend money on coverages you don't need or want.

Learn the answers to the Ten Questions today, and get a better policy for less money, tomorrow.

No, you're right. No review whatsoever in the book description. Description is the key word, or else it would be 'book advertisement'.


message 17: by Mel (new)

Mel (soireb) | 224 comments For future reference, there are two authors called John David in the database.

John^David
John^^David (the author of the books on this thread).

I disambiguated (is that the right word?) the books that I thought belong the the second author. Could someone please check to see if I missed one, or if I moved the wrong one.

This is Plan B, and Reconstruction. When we already know that "Plan A" is a fail plan, then it is "insanity" to continue to follow it.

if there is a new edition with a new cover, what we do is create an alternate cover edition for each book. Previous published covers are not eliminated.

John David (johndavidauthor) | 16 comments I know it is confusing. Each book, or "volume" is called "Essays for the 99% Blank Blank"

AND the series itself is ALSO called "Essays for the 99%."

With utmost respect paisana, and meaning you no offense, may I suggest this mild revision?

I am a born and bred young Puerto Rican woman who’s always been in love with languages in general. I am currently preparing myself to become (hopefully) both a teacher and a writer. I only speak two languages, with Spanish being my native language and English my second. An animal lover and environmentalist since childhood, I would have been a veterinarian if things had gone differently in life. I have some skill with that magic box called The Computer—not enough to have bragging rights over the fact, but enough to survive in this “Information Era.”

Mel (soireb) | 224 comments I'm done with 'Ten Questions' (#26)

Added two alternate cover editions, one for the paperback and the other for the kindle edition. All the editions can be found here:
http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

The system displays the most popular edition first; that is, the most 'shelve' edition. Until more people shelve the new cover edition the original one will be showing on your author profile.

One thing I don't know is why neither of the series that I created are showing in your author profile. Could be a cache thing but could someone check just in case. I know that the The Purrennium Trilogy series is showing in the other John^David's profile even though the books have the correct author.

If you need anything else, you can post it here or start a new thread. Best of Luck!
