Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi librarians,

Fellow librarian here. I'm trying to add an ACE for a book. By following the Librarian Manual it says:

"All book pages have a link to automatically create an ACE. Next to the Add a New Edition link, we have added an option to Add an Alternate Cover Edition."

I can't find that link. I just see "Combine editions. Separate editions. Add a new edition."

Any help much appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Rowan, by the sound if it you have selected a starting point edition that has no ASIN or ISBN. If you go to the exact edition that currently has the ID you want to create an ACE for, the option should appear in the menu.

Thanks so much for that! I have found it now. I appreciate your help!

Have fun :)

Edit: I see you're making a common beginner mistake. The ACE should not have the Edition Pub Date of the original cover image. It should be the date when the new cover version was published. Often we don't know exactly when, and then we go with current YY-MM.
