The covers are different, but that cover is on other editions so deleting it wouldn't hurt; there's no way of knowing whether it's a legitimate alternate cover edition or just a bad cover.

Actually I own that exact ISBN. It is an alternate cover edition; I had actually been meaning to make one when the cover updated awhile back. I have stripped out the bad ISBN and added a librarian note.

Once again, We do NOT delete books once published either on line or physical, in print or out of print, free or not - this is a book cataloging site.
If you have legal reasons then contact GR support

 No. It is more preferable to merge rather than edit, as there may be small differences from one edition to the other, and people have the right to shelve the edition they have. I'll deal with this one.

 Please delete, bad ISBN, couldn't find it anywhere with even a close ISBN.

 I'm not sure that 635 was intended to be Spider's Bite. The books that start with the ISBN13 are some other ones.

      uh...http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
has a page count and a really nice cover...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
has ISBNs and a blurry cover....
Can we take the best parts of each and throw the rest away?
Did Ingram upload an image that made them both the same? I know there was a single color version at one point... :-|

So there's really nothing to be done, until somebody uploads the cover that used to be there, right? It looks like Vol. 1 should be a kind of olive green.
 This is a bad ISBN but I can't find a match for it among the other editions.

 641,642,643, 648 done. Someone got the others. As for 647 I found the correct ISBN, which wasn't already on Goodreads so I updated the record. No merge needed.

Looks like C-Cose merged the editions, transferring the good data and cover to the remaining edition. :)
