That's really weird. I just clicked on it and it took me back to The Golem's page. Try this one? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Since the record contained no other info than the (incorrect) title and author*, added by a deleted user, I merged it with the default.The image was the placeholder image that GR uses for books that have no cover images uploaded. The title always matches what is in the title field, correct or no.
*1915 was in the original pub date field, not the year of publication field, and is the same for all editions.
"The image was the placeholder image that GR uses for books that have no cover images uploaded. The title always matches what is in the title field, correct or no."Ah, okay, I was wondering about that. I knew the in the search you got a bland grey square with a 'g' in the middle, but couldn't remember if you got a 'cover' like this in the records. Thanks!

Thanks Lethe!
Currently the title in this record ('1915' edition, no ISBN) reads "Gustav Meyrink (The Golem)'s Book".
Every other edition seems to be titled a variation of "The Golem" (depending on the language).
The title does, however match what's on the image used as a cover for this book - it looks like a free ebook, like the ones you can find on Amazon. It may have been entered incorrectly when creating the 'cover', but it's hard to say.
I'm not sure if you'd find it appropriate to do so in this instance, but please look at the record and determine if you think the title needs to be corrected.
