I'm afraid we will need a link - there are several different editions of that book here on Goodreads, so please can you link us to the specific edition you require a cover for?

I have since found the edition you probably mean by looking at your profile, but Amazon doesn't have a cover for this book, so you will need to provide us with one.

Here is the book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Here is the same book on amazon with cover: http://www.amazon.com/Vistas-4th-Edit...

The cover is from the Smashwords epub edition, however my book doesn't have an ISBN. Also, can you add the # of pages for it: 132.
Thank you!

Goodreads policy is to keep all editions, even out-of-print ones. If this image is of a new edition, we have to add a new edition.

Thank you"
The image for this ISBN is not available on Amazon. If you own a copy for this ISBN, please provide us with an image of the cover.

Thanks so very much!

Adlibtris.com appears to be a bookseller, and with the exception of Amazon, Goodreads cannot use booksellers as a source for covers and other book data. Acceptable sources include author and publisher websites, library sites, and various other public archives, or scans and photos made by Goodreads users.

I have uploaded the image to my profile, and it was the author of Untethered who sent the new book cover to me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lexxie,
What usually happens in these sorts of instances is that an alternative-cover edition is added - no cover is ever changed on an already published book.
One thing I just noticed was that the Kindle edition was listed with the 10-digit ISBN of the edition that you linked to, so the first thing I've done is corrected this.
Also, the new versions of the paperback & Kindle editions have been added, with a librarian's note and combined with the other books:
Paperback - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
Kindle - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
If the author wants to set the new cover as the default edition, the instructions are here.
It might also be good to advise them to post any requests themselves in future, rather than contacting librarians directly, as I've heard of librarians who have lost priviledges for updating the wrong thing because of such author requests - authors can use it as a way to bypass the rules!

Thank you for your help, Susie :)
I actually proposed to the author to help her to add another cover, as I have participated in the cover reveal. But I would not changed it - I know that nothing is supposed to ever be deleted from any books.
Thanks again :)

I hope a librarian might be able to replace the "default and generic" cover for a book with the Kindle book cover.

I created a book page for the kindle edition, and added that cover on both editions.
Hope that is ok!
