John Champneys (andavane) | 36 comments Very uncertain what to do here.

Spelling of Title is "Vivekacudamani of Sri Sankaracarya"
(with diacritical marks on 8 of the letters)

the following is almost the same, but mine has a different cover.

hhmmmmmm....

Indeed.
But this one has a different cover; and it's the fifteenth impression, dated 1998.

Todd | 16 comments It is not uncommon for re-printings of the same edition to have different cover art. Adding a feature for the uploading of alternate covers is on GoodReads to do list. A lot of to other things are too, so, if you want this feature to be bumped up the priority list, make a comment at a topic discussing the issue in the Feedback forums, such as this one.

If you simply must have the correct cover art on your shelf, you can create a new record for your book and upload the correct cover art. Leave the ISBN field blank, but leave a note in the description field, and a librarian note, telling people that your book has ISBN
817505106X (or whatever is correct) but that your edition has different cover art. You should still enter the first publication date for that edition, not the date of the reprinting.

Here is an example of a book with alternate cover art in the database: The Collector
