Tomos Roberts | 1 comments Can anyone guide me on how I can tidy up my earlier versions, remove some, and update where I have new covers so the old ones are no longer visible?

Lily Reads (lily_the_reader) | 1 comments We don't delete old editions because others may still have the old ones and they can still be purchased.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 299 comments I only wanted to change the cover to match the one I now have on Amazon, and I asked the Librarians and they haven't changed it. They have some sort of rule - but I thought that changing the cover would be allowed.

So good luck with trying to change the covers - I hope you do better than I did.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 299 comments Hi A, thank you. However, I've had about 10 posts with more than one librarian and I still cannot see that the red cover is showing instead of the dark one.

Are you thinking I should ask again?

This is from the GR section:

Here's how to set the default edition for a work:
1. Navigate to the book's page. Be sure you have selected the edition you wish to become the default, or primary edition.
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 this work. It's about midway down the page.
Only Goodreads Authors can set the default edition at this time.
