Ella James | 9 comments Hi,
I have some issues I would really love some help with. One of my books, Stained by Ella James, has two editions, and I would like for there to only be one. Both editions have incorrect covers. I have a copy of the correct cover, but I'm not allowed to upload it myself, as I am not yet a librarian. Two of my other books, Here by Ella James and Stolen by Ella James, need cover updates. I have those covers as well. I will happily gift an Amazon gc of $2.99 to anyone who can change these things for me tonight. My main concern is the incorrect/outdated covers, although I would also like the double editions combined if that is possible. E-mail me at ella_f_james@ymail.com and I can send you the covers. I will send you your gift card as soon as you update. :) Thanks so much... Ella James

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Was the Kindle edition of Stained ever published with the red and white cover? If not, I am assuming that it was always published with the other editions cover.

Also, post the images to your profile and we can download and add them from there. Or link to your website.

I don't suggest offering money for these changes. Being a librarian is a privilege and not something we should expect to be paid for.

In fact, taking money for making librarian edits would be highly problematic and might cause a librarian to lose their librarian privileges.

Ella James | 9 comments Oh no! So sorry, guys. I didn't know. Money offer has been withdrawn. The images can be found on my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ellajamesbooks. I will try to post them to my profile as well. Not sure if I know how, though.

Don't worry about it. Already created the alternate cover editions for Stolen and Here. Found the images on your website.

Ella James | 9 comments Okay, the covers are uploaded under my profile on Goodreads.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Just to double check Ella. Was the stained cover ever published with the red and white cover? We make alternate editions so people can shelf the edition they read. This means we would create a new edition for the new cover.

This would explain why you have 2 editions for your kindle books now for all three of the books you mentioned.

Ella James | 9 comments I don't think so, but that was around the time period that my baby was sick and in the hospital, so I don't remember 100 percent. But I don't think it was.


message 9: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I'll leave this up to a super, but for now there is the alternate cover edition with the correct cover. This will become the default when enough people shelf it.

If a super decides to merge them, then they will do that and you will only have 1 edition left over.


message 10: by Ella (new)

Ella James | 9 comments Sounds good. Asked my husband, and he says red and white cover was never on Amazon. Not sure if that helps, but wanted to tell you.


message 11: by Ella (new)

Ella James | 9 comments Thank you, btw!!! You rock!

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Hmmm... I'm seeing several bloggers having the old cover, as well as the fact that another super was the one who uploaded the image that is on it now.


message 13: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Well, sounds like it should just stay then with the alternate cover edition. Wouldn't hurt anyways and when the other is shelved more the newer edition will be the default.
