Blody Hell.It's the same book.
It's the same ISBN.
What is with you people and your nonsense about ISBNs?
When I requested that this book be added to your database, here, another "librarian" responded with a load of nonsense about ISBNs regarding the cover image which I provided a link to.
If you people want an ISBN with book cover submissions, you need to add that to your guidelines. Also, if publisher's websites are no longer an acceptable source for covers, you need to update your list of acceptable sources for covers and book data.
Why must you people make this so difficult? Is it because Amazon isn't selling it?

They still are. I'm not sure why you think they are not.

You cannot expect me to not get upset when I repeatedly follow your own guidelines, only to be told that I have to jump through further hoops. If your librarian had accepted the cover image from the publisher yesterday, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Please can the cover of my book be changed to:http://shop.josiekingbooks.com/wp-con...
The book was never published with the cover I originally uploaded and it's misleading to people who find it on Goodreads and want to buy it.
The book is:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Even adding a new edition is not appropriate as it was never released with that cover. I didn't understand how goodreads worked in this area and I uploaded an image hastily. Please help with this so I can promote my book on Goodreads.
Kind regards
