message 153: by Dori (new)

Dori (adorible) | 196 comments Got 'em. The Steinbeck image isn't that good because it's one of those "search inside" images. I had to edit it to remove the added text from Amazon. If you find a better image, we can replace it.

Dori, deleting the uploaded image and refreshing from Amazon did the trick for that one. Actually, any time the image is available directly from Amazon, you can just use the refresh link, rather than uploading an image manually. (Although that's fine too!)

I forgot about trying to refresh the image. Thanks for reminding me :)

Andy | 136 comments This one doesn't have an image, and even though Amazon DOES have one, doing a refresh info didn't help. So... Do you manually download the large image from Amazon and upload it? Or is there a better way? (I still didn't get a working computer hooked up to my scanner.)

That's because it's a "customer image". Those are not provided via Amazon's API.

Yup. Go to the image page for the best-quality image.

Andy | 136 comments OK, I'm not thrilled with the picture, but it's better than nothing. Is it permissible to take an image from a different edition that would be correct for an edition that currently has a goodbooks image? I thought I had an example, until I did an ISBN search at Amazon, and the title text was a different color. Still, the question remains. uh... and thanks again. ;-)

Yes, if you're very certain it's the same.

Edit: Might be a good idea to leave a comment on the book's edit page (NOT a Librarian's Note, which will show up on the combine page) stating that you have done so, in case there's a question at a later date. Either in the comments section at the bottom of the page or in the "change comment" section.

Lauren | 4 comments This book needs a cover image:

isbn 9780195323023

Here is the cover image:

Thanks!!!!!

Also, why is the word SEUSS in all caps? It's not like that in the book itself. Could someone change that too? Thanks again.

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I got it. It looks like SEUSS is in all caps on the cover...

Lauren | 4 comments Thank you!

The whole title is in all caps on the the cover. That's just the font they are using/ design choices they are making. The title in the library catalog page is not all caps at any point. Whatever, though. I guess it doesn't matter much.

Thanks again for adding the cover!
