Jason | 3 comments Does anyone know how to edit a quotation to reflect from which book it is taken?

I've tried creating a "new" quote, including the source, and then combining the quotations. No go. Goodreads automatically absorbs the "new" quote into the older one, causing the book info to be lost.

Solutions?

From that page, click on the "[x] people liked it". That takes you to the quote's page. Click "edit".

On the edit page, you will see a drop-down with the author's books. Choose the right one, and then click the "save" button.

Jason | 3 comments A-ha! It took some time but I managed to locate that elusive "edit" button. Simple enough! Thanks for your help.
