Revising my book already published through LuLu

[lsheehan2003atyahoodotcom]

I've written an email, but no answer. I find it impossible to get on the LuLu chat as well.  So here's a message to someone:  I have already written and purchased a children's book, "Grandma Goes to South Africa." Now I would like to revise 11 pages in this book, but keep the same layout, cover, etc. HOW DO I DO THIS THROUGH LULU?  Whenever I click on "revise" from My LuLu, I get the product description!  I don't want to change any of that.  I want to make changes on some pages of my book so I can sell it through the service at Amazon and eBay.

1. Do your revisions on your word processing file saved on your PC.

2. Choose My Lulu tab, then you'll go to the product description and there should be another button saying 'create revision' (if the book has already been published and approved, it says something else if it hasn't, sorry can't remember what, but anyway click it) and revise your project and go through the stages as you did before.

If the copy you purchased is a proof the changes will be immediate but you'll have to purchase another proof to check it again. If it's already been approved and it's on Amazon there'll be a charge and it'll take a few weeks for the new version to filter through.

If you're still having problems keep on at Support.

Thanks so much! I'll go check it out.

Yes, this is the option I was searching for! Thanks!
However, my book already has an ISBN through LuLu. MUST I get a new ISBN? This is automatically a part of choosing the service to make it public and connect to Amazon. If I choose otherwise, does that mean the revised book will have no ISBN?

[Tracey Morait]

Glad it worked.

The ISBN is a unique identifier for your book, so the answer to that would be no. Use the same ISBN.

The only time getting another ISBN would apply would be if another publisher took the book on and they'd give it their own ISBN, or if the book was a hardback as well as a paperback, sometimes a hardback ISBN is different to a paperback ISBN for the same book, or if you decided to make it a brand new edition.

Tracey,
The sign off in your posts is taking up a lot of screen area.
Normally one should see sevarl contributions on a screen page but your single contribution takes up  nearly the whole page.
In your signature you have several <BR /> that totally unnecessary!

[Tracey Morait]

Right

[Ken Anderson]

A lot nicer.
Did you get my PM?

[Tracey Morait]

Mm

There is no option to use my previous ISBN.  The second option states that I cannot use the ISBN of a previous edition.  The only option to choose is a new ISBN,   It seems I'm starting from scratch.  Will I also have to download my whole book again or can I just make page changes?
