Beorn (bsceadugenga) | 227 comments 1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - was published in 1987 not 1992. Also this is the cover image, though whether you can take it from eBay or not I don't know. http://www.images.andacomputers.com/u...

2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... - Needs adding that it was published in 1988 by Marshall Cavendish; page count of 355; 'This is a facsimile reproduction of an edition published in 1933 in New York by Oxford University Press'

3) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - cover art is wrong. Take a look at all the other Marshall Cavendish books (Ivanhoe, Frankenstein, Gulliver's Travels, Moby Dick...) and you'll see they all have black backgrounds with framed small paintings in the middle and embossed gold text; needs adding that it's a hardcover; page count is 143 not 144

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 1) Fixed, although I didn't use that image. We can't take images from booksellers (except for Amazon). Neither Amazon nor Worldcat had a cover.

re 2) I added your note to the description, but it was already marked as published in 1988 from Marshall Cavendish.

re 3) While I believe you, I can't change this cover. It is likely that the ISBN has been recycled, and that both covers are valid. Moreover, Amazon has the current image, and Worldcat has yet a third cover. I can make an alt cover edition if you have an appropriately sourced image of the black background/framed paintings version. I changed it to hardcover. Also, it already was marked as 143 pages...
