Bookilicious: +130
I have done an edit of my book, got a professional cover design and changed the author’s name (to my own). Would this be classified as a ‘new’ book and require a ‘new’ isbn or simply what it is, a re-write. Also how to I ensure that the ‘old’ edition is completely erased from the site so that there is no confusion.
Not sure, Colette, but as you have changed the author name, I would think you would have to get a new ISBN. Is it available on Amazon and other outlets? If it’s only on this site then I think admin would be able to answer this and sort it out for you.
Hi Colette,
You will need to use a new ISBN as the key details of the book have changed (the author). Therefore you will then need to delete the old book from your portfolio and set up a new one. The old one will then be marked as out of print and taken off the Lightning Source distribution catalogue. It sometimes takes a while for books to disappear from all retailer listings (i.e. on Amazon) and unfortunately we can’t control when this happens once we have updated the ISBN database.
Best wishes,
Georgina
