Anne Marie | 6 comments How does one add together a book cover image to an existing book that doesn't have 1 even so?

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Bold you have an prototype gear up to upload:

1) Click "edit details" on the specific edition'due south folio.
2) Underneath where it says "Add a cover image for this book.", click "Choose", then find and select your paradigm file.
3) Click upload photograph, and then y'all're done.


Anne Marie | 6 comments Oh, cheers Amara! I was looking for something similar to when one first uploads a book (in the top right hand corner with the "browse" button) & couldn't notice anything. I though the "edit details" was for editing my personal review of a book! I'll effort that at present=:)

I do that and I all see is:

"Your permissions will only allow the editing of the metadata"

At that place is no "Add together a cover paradigm for this book."

And then at present what do I exercise?

Unless when adding a new book not already on Goodreads then anyone, non but librarians, can add a encompass.

So anyone can add a book and all its data plus a cover but only librarians can add a cover to an existing book that lacks a encompass. Does that brand sense? No. I didn't call back so either but that'due south the way it works.

Vicky (librovert) | 2459 comments Merely librarians can make changes to books already existing in the database, which includes adding or irresolute the cover art. This makes perfect sense because leaving these things open to all members would result in many changes that do not abide past the librarian transmission.

I suspect it would be difficult to leave covers open up to all users to add while nevertheless keeping the rest of the book locked down.

Yes of course. What doesn't make sense is that any joker can join Goodreads and add new books to the database whether or not the data is accurate and whether or not the book actually exists and whether or not information technology is a duplication.

Really, they need to take been a member for a minimum number of days, and must have a verified email address.

And nosotros accept several librarians who regularly check all newly-added books. So if a user is adding things that should not be added, they don't normally final long.

You don't have the librarian status that's why you are not able to add the cover. Please provide a link with the cover and we'll practice it. Also if you have the missing information(publisher, year, number of pages etc) please provide them
