Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi,

How can I go about getting someone to add book images for the following:

The Cowards by Josef Skvorecky
Power by Bertrand Arthur Russell
Satan in the Suburbs by Bertrand Russell
The Philosophy of Merleau-Ponty by Eric Matthews
If This Is a Man and The Truce by Primo Levi
A Summer Affair by Ivan Klima
The Honorary Consul by Graham Greene
So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away
by Richard Brautigan

Also this book has odd formatting on the book cover:
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran - the image only appears about 1/4 size.

Many thanks,

Michael

Provide links to images, and I'll be happy to do so. I can't upload what I don't have.

I did some digging and couldn't find any cover images for those books, but in the future this site might help:

o.k

so we can't just take amazon photos?

As I understand it, Amazon photos are used automatically.

I looked up a few of the books in your list, and Amazon doesn't have a cover image.

ok.

Can i upload my own photos/scans of these books?

Found the following on amazon.

The Philosophy of Merleau-Ponty by Eric Matthews:

On the random house website they have:
The Cowards by Josef Skvorecky:

With the exception of Satan in the Suburbs, those all already have covers. So either someone else took care of them, or you're not seeing covers which are already there.

As for Satan in the Suburbs, that cover does not not match either of the editions in the GoodReads database -- it's far older than either. You can manually enter that edition if you like. (Since it has no ISBN, I can't just import it from Amazon.)

As i'm not a librarian (apologies if i shouldnt really be here!) I can't append the Satan in The Suburbs picture.

As I said, it's not the right cover for either edition currently listed on GoodReads. This edition has a cover, if you just want any cover.

It's fine to come here to ask librarians to fix things. :) FYI, anyone can manually add a book.

Hi, the book Transgender Good News, by Pat Conover, has the following cover: http://www.patconover.com/pix/bookcov...

And he has given his permission for it to be posted here (and everywhere!).

Could one you librarians fix that, please?

Done!

The Amazon image is no good because it's overlaid with the "Preview inside this text" icon (your link is also wrong, btw). However, I was able to find a copy of the cover image somewhere else, so you're good.

here's an odd duck: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

should have the following cover: http://www.amazon.com/Detailed-Minuti...

can if be fixed?

thank you in advance!

: D

Fixed the cover

Hello,

I am new, and was adding a book last night and it has no cover, and said that there wasn't one on hand. (?)

The book was just published on 4/29/08 and there is a cover on Amazon, but I couldn't figure out how to up load it here.

The Brass Bed, by Jennifer Stevenson, mmpb

ISBN-10: 0345486684
ISBN-13: 978-0345486684

URL for the page with the picture:

http://www.amazon.com/Brass-Bed-Jenni...

If someone could help me, or point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Added "The Brass Bed" cover.

Ficusfan - in order to be able to upload covers yourself, or edit books, you have to apply for librarian status.

Isis_FG,

Thank you for the cover, and the comment. I am still figuring the site out, so maybe down the road I will apply, but not just yet.

Thanks

Ficus
