Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I own a physical copy of this book, and I found a non-Amazon source for the cover image (http://shop.catholic.com/images/P/fin...) from this URL: http://shop.catholic.com/product.php?...

Can someone please add that image for the hardcover and Kindle editions?

Done! :)

Sources not only need to be not-Amazon, but not a bookseller. That source does not qualify.

If you own the book, you can scan the cover or take a clear picture and upload it to your profile for a librarian to snag.

Really?

Reminder: We expect all active librarians to be familiar with the Librarian Manual.

After the big kerfuffle with Amazon, I understand not using them as a cover source, but why not other booksellers?

Not arguing about it, just wondering what the reasoning is.

I guess the distinction between "booksellers" and "sites that sell books" needs to be made clearer. Your description, Rivka, the one linked in the librarians manual, was ambiguous enough for me to be confused.

I have uploaded the requested photograph to my profile.

While I'm posting, can someone also add the other photo in my profile to Scriptural Rosary and perhaps merge in the duplicate entry for Scriptural Rosary? They're the same book, which I also own, but the first link has more accurate data.

The only sites that sell books that are not included in the "no booksellers" rule are publishers and author sites.

Authors merged, book records merged, and cover added.

Thanks, Rivka! I think I understand now. (FWIW, the author's and publisher's sites for "How to Find Your Soulmate" link to images from Catholic.com and Amazon.)

Yeah, when authors do that, it is unhelpful to us. ;)

Never seen a publisher do it before. Weird.
