Do you have an older cover on #Goodreads and don’t know how to update it?? Read these simple instructions.

October 11, 2014 By Mimi Barbour 6 Comments

 
A friend of mine recently had trouble with having two editions
of the same book on Goodreads. Thankfully, I was able to help her. Since I’d had
a similar problem some time ago, the information given to me by one of the Customer
Care Representatives was still able to correct this situation.

In fact, I can’t tell you how often this has come in handy. I’m
sure you’ve all had books where either the covers didn’t work for you or you
wanted to put a seasonal cover on it for specific holidays (Christmas Books). I
know, I have (I don’t worry about readers duplicating their purchases since the
publishers won’t let them re-buy a book nowadays) and so numerous times, I’ve
made changes

Then I’d go to Goodreads and try dealing with the situation
where there’d be the older version of the cover coming up and me floundering
around, grumbling like an old she-bear cause my baby wore the wrong clothes.

Finally I broke down, wrote to their support team and found
a real live person – a lovely lady who gave me a set of instructions  even I could follow:

Here’s how to combine the editions:  

1. Add the new edition like a new book to
Goodreads with the updated cover image.

2. Navigate to
your author profile.

3. On the right
side of the “Books By…” bar, click on the “combine
editions” link.

4. Tick both the editions you’d like to combine.

5. Click “combine”.

Here’s how to set the default edition
for a book:

1. Navigate to the
book’s page.

2. Click
“edit details” below the book’s description.

3. On the right
side of the page, click  “Set this
book as the primary edition for the work”. It’s about midway down the
page.


As soon as you’ve
combined the editions, the rating and reviews for all the editions will also be
aggregated (so no extra step needed). You should then be able to set the new
edition as the default edition.

The old editions will then be accessible through the
“Other Editions” section of the main book page.
