I'm with Isis on this. I never ever delete books because of covers. Someone cares about that existing cover, as much as the someone(s) who care about the new/alternate/their cover.
In cases like this, where a single ISBN has multiple covers (ie a new printing has a different cover) the general practice is to manually add a new edition to the GR database with the alternate cover. Deleting the old one isn't ideal because there may be people with that book shelved who own the older cover, and many like to shelve the book exactly as it looks to them. So the only trade-off, for now and until GR gives the option to upload multiple covers, is to create a new edition with all the appropriate info and the new cover. But since you can't list the same ISBN twice, Librarians generally leave the ISBN field blank and add a Librarian's Note in the book summary stating the ISBN, and that it's an alternate cover edition.
The book had 2 images attached - I have deleted the incorrect image and it now shows the image as per Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
