I bought a copy of this Paperback book from a 2nd hand book store. Goodreads is missing the cover art for this edition.

This edition is not found on Amazon. I tried to search for the publisher but it looks like Publisher "Will Jonson & Dog's Tail Books" does not exist anymore. The website www.dogstailbooks.co.uk that is listed on page 2 is not working either.

I wonder what would be the process to add cover for this edition. I can scan the cover of the book and upload it to somewhere if that is acceptable.

Please let me know on how to proceed.

Update: I just took a look at other editions of this book and the following linked edition has the same cover as mine and has the same number of pages:

It turns out that this edition lists Will Jonson as editor (see publisher of my book above). So, probably same book issued with different ISBN.

Here is the image to use:

We cannot use a cover from one edition for a different one. The ISBN or ASIN must match.

However, if you take a scan of your own copy's cover, that is an option. You can upload it to your photos here: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new

@rivka:

As I said my version has exactly the same cover as the version I indicated. I wish you could use it. Can I just take photo of the book cover with my cellphone for you to verify that my book is really the same cover as the one I indicated?

If that is not an option, I will get a scan but it is going to take a bit more time for me. I have not used my scanner for ages. Probably will need to install some software to get it operational again. It was something I was trying to avoid but if that is the only way I will do it

A photo taken by you of your copy of the book, as long as it's clear and a good quality image, is fine.

OK. I understand. Tomorrow, I will try to get the scans and if I cannot get the scanner working, try to get my best photos of the cover. Thanks for responding.

@rivka: I have uploaded my scanned cover and the link is here.

Direct link to "largest" size image (it looks like upload converted from PNG to JPG and scaled it to a much smaller size than the scanned one)

Can @rivka or another librarian handle this please?
