Riccardo | 36 comments Please, these books should be combined:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...

The first one is a Kindle edition.

Thanks
Riccardo

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments The cover image also looks better now.


message 6: by Scott (new)

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Sorry if this is not the right place to post this.
But I have yet another new cover for my kindle and paperback book: Night of the Purple Moon
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Also, the book is part of a series, but I haven't finished the second one yet

Two questions

Is there a place to mention it is part of a series and should I do this if I only have one book completed?

Second, back to the cover, I am always afraid to hit the delete cover button.

How and where do I add the new cover. And is there anyway to even update the cover of my current giveaway with the new cover

I am adding the Amazon link only to show you the new cover I would like to add

http://www.amazon.com/Night-Purple-Mo...

Thank you....
Scott

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments We do not delete covers that have been published. A new alternate cover edition needs to be created with the new cover.

http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85...

IF the book you are giving away is published then we do not change the cover,

You can create a series and attach to the finished book - mentioning in the series description anything about the series. If you have a name (or even if not) you can add the second book in the series to GR. Lots of unpublished books are added as placeholders.

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Hi,
Three steps forward, one back.
It seems that I was able to add the cover... But now there is a Kindle edition sitting there with just the goodreads logo?

Also, re: the series. Do I need a "series name" before I can add the name of book 2 (which has yet to be written)

Thanks

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The books have been sorted out

There is a cache on the book page, if you look here all editions have covers

http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Edit: you can add book two as untitled and add to the series, probably would be good to have a series name rather than untitled series


message 10: by Scott (new)

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Okay, but how come there are 2 kindle editions with the same cover?
Thanks for any advice...


message 11: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments One is the edition with ASIN B008A7R3W8

the other is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B007OVUPXU


message 12: by Scott (new)

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Okay, thanks. I better give up while I'm ahead.

I think it looks strange there are two identical covers, but at least the new one is visible.

Thanks...


message 13: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Did you re publish ASIN B007OVUPXU with the new cover?? if not then we can remove it but if you updated ASIN B007OVUPXU with the new cover then the alternate cover edition should stay


message 14: by Scott (new)

Scott Cramer | 71 comments Sorry, I'm now sure what I did. I saw the browse for cover button and uploaded the new cover.

Then when I started to enter the info, it said a book already existed and I clicked the link for Night of the Purple Moon.

And here I am.

I've only written one book... All the various covers on goodreads represent the identical thing... with the exception that I have both a kindle version and a paperback available.

Amanda (amanda__n) | 1 comments Hello~
There two versions should be combined, but I keep getting an error message when I try to do it myself:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

These are the German and Dutch version of the same book.

Thanks,

Amanda

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Looks like someone got #17


message 19: by John (new)

John Lewis (ovinicus) | 2 comments Okay, this one's going to be a long one.

Firstly this needs adding into the 'editions' of Rob Roy rather than being stand alone http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

it then needs merging with http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

(Bear in mind the second link contains incorrect information such as stating the novel is hardback and uses and external description, the first link uses the actual blurb instead)


message 20: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Fixed.


message 21: by Ema (new)

Ema (emastimpy) | 99 comments Help, super librarians!
I wanted to merge two books that were in fact the same edition. One had ISBN, the other didn't, but I am sure they are the same, as their info was similar, but incomplete. And it's the only edition in Romanian.
I separated them and then combined them, in order to obtain a single, better version, but I noticed I can't delete any of them, as they have more than 5 reviews.

So... I made one complete version here:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

The other version which should be deleted is this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Then the correct edition has to be combined with this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Thank you!!
