Could a librarian please add an "e" to "Wembley" in the title!

While I'm asking for favours, the cover is printed in pseudo-Latin capitals so actually reads "WEMBLEY IN COLOVR" I've entered it as a lower-case "translation" as that seems logical but I'm not sure how aesthetic titling should be considered.

See, for image of the cover...

Hope you can help and advise,

Abebooks cannot be used. They are owned by Amazon (and are a bookseller) and we cannot use their data.

I've added the 'e' and used 'colour' 'cos it seems more sensible.

Take a photo of your copy, upload it to Tinypic, and post a link to it. We can use a cover from an owned book with NO problems.

Or upload it to your images section on GR. No additional site required. http://www.goodreads.com/photo/new

Edit: This will only work if your profile is public, not if it's private.

He has a private profile. Can we get it from there?

That user's photos are private!

Ok, then I take my suggestion back. I thought if they were directly linked, we could still access them, but I guess that's just me. ;)

rivka, what if you linked directly to the link of the photo on Goodreads that includes the "d.gr-assets" part (you know the "largest size" link)? IIRC that works regardless if the profile is private or not.

Yeah, I can see that image.

Ok, then anyone can post images on GR for us to use for covers, assuming they know how to link directly to an image, rather than to the page with the image.
