Sarah Susanka | 3 comments Hello, I need help adding books to books I've written.

The first is The Not So Big Life paperback edition (0812976002). Please fix the book cover image and add the book to books I've written. If you need a new book cover image, please let me know and I'd be glad to provide it.

The second is The Not So Big Life audio book cd (073934157X). Please add this to books I've written.

Also, please add the 10th anniversary edition of The Not So Big House (1600850472) to books I've written.

There are hardcover and paperback editions to most of my 9 books. I'm unclear whether it's necessary to add all editions to books I've written, but I felt the Not So Big Life paperback should be added because it's a different cover, the audio book because it's a different medium, and the 10th Anniversary edition because it has a new chapter and introduction.

Thanks!

Amara Tanith (aftanith) For ISBN 0812976002, if the cover needed is the same as any of the covers attached to the other editions, let us know which so we can get it from there. If not, you can upload it to your profile or give us a non-bookseller link so we can get it fixed.

All three ISBNs/editions you mentioned have already been added to the system and are attached to your profile. And yes, every single ISBN, ASIN, or BNID gets a separate entry in the database.

I found it on WorldCat and uploaded it.

Sarah Susanka | 3 comments OK, I'm confused. So if a book is attached to my profile, why does it not show up under books I've written? I see the 10th anniversary edition of my first book when I search for my first book's original edition, for example, but not when I look at my profile.

There are about 10 books that show up as books I've written when I've actually just written the forewords. I don't mind that, but just wondering if that's intentional.

The cover for NSBL paperback is this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25.... I also added it to my profile, but it looks like this link will be enough.

Thanks for your help!

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Rivka got the cover. :)

As for why the editions don't show up on your profile page, it's because we use a combining system. That is, we link all editions of a single work together so that everyone can see they're the same book. (You can see all linked editions if you click on "Other editions" on a book's page. Or you can go to a specific edition if you search by ISBN/ASIN/BNID.) To keep from clogging up an author's book page, the most popular edition of a particular book is assigned as the "default edition". The default edition is the one that shows up automatically on the author's page.
