Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Help please. I have two blank edition covers showing on the book page, and the new cover just released for this book not showing at all unless I click on 'all editions' when there are 6 entries in total. It looks a mess and I have no control over it. Is it possible to put the new cover as the default? The old one is no longer available.
And surely it would be better to have a different edition listed for just say paperback and ebook instead of one for every different ebook reader. Just a thought tho no idea if anyone can control that. Thank you. Irene.

You can set the version you want as default.

That's nothing librarians can't do, only authors can.

Thank you Lachgas.

Irene, I added these missing cover images:

»   ebook ISBN 9780994503190: A Gem of a Problem, from Smashwords
»  Kindle B06XCBD22C: A Gem of a Problem, from Amazon

Goodreads lists each edition, as readers want to shelve the format and cover of the copy they have. As the author, you can set the default edition — that is, the one that comes up in searches by title and shows on your author profile. Here's how to do that.

Thank you. I've reset the cover. I'd read that changing the edition would lose the reviews but it all seems OK at the moment.

No, it doesn't, eventually just shortly due to some caching issues but not permanently, so no worries.
