Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments I have this book.
It has the same cover as the kindle edition.
The amazon picture looks orange but it is red just like the kindle cover.
Can upload photo if needed.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Looks like there were two editions, one with an oragen cover and one with a red one (Amazon had both under the same ISBN):

EDIT: Added an ACE for the orange edition as well:

Z-squared | 8575 comments I have uploaded the red one as requested. Looks like there was someone working on this request at the same time -- please think twice before deleting cover images. There was nothing wrong with my cover add. Thanks!

Melaslithos | 1360 comments #4 & 6-8 Done.

For request #5, I'm not sure how to proceed. It looks like the cover you linked to is a paper cover (not sure how you call that), but that below, it is indeed the green cover shown on GR (you can see a slight band of green at the bottom of the book on Amazon). So both are the correct covers for this book.

Should I change the cover and put the external one? Or leave the green cover, which is the actual one, attached to the book? Or create an ACE? But they are the same book, not two different one...

Does any other librarian has recommendations on this situation?

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments #5 the green book showing on GR is the book without the dust jacket.
The amazon link shows the book with the dust jacket on.
I think all hardcover books come with a dust jacket unless they are special leather bound or some other type covering.

I actually set it to paperback because that seemed to be what the ISBN was linked to, because even when you clicked the Hardcover version on Amazon the description still stated it was a paperback.

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments Amazon UK lists it as hardcover.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hear-children...

Never mind ... ISBN is different.

Hmmm ... maybe I can post a video, removing the dust jacket and tapping on the cover of the book to show it's a hardcover ....


message 18: by Edwina (new)

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments Ah ha ... Abebooks has listing after listing of this book in Hardcover. So Amazon needs to edit their mistake.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Actually, Amazon lists both a hardcover AND a paperback associated with the same ISBN:

http://www.amazon.com/Children-Crying... (hardcover)
http://www.amazon.com/Hear-Children-C... (pb)

And even more interestingly, each has a *slightly* different cover (see the top right corner).

I'll add an ACE for the hardcover edition with Amazon's obvious dust jacket picture for the cover.

EDIT: do you have a page number for the hardcover edition Edwina?


message 20: by Edwina (new)

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments 137 pages

Do you have a book description too by any chance? I tried to find one on Amazon, WorldCat, etc., but came up with nothing.


message 22: by Edwina (new)

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments Can you also add page count for my post #11
574 pages. Thank you.

Done. EDIT: And before anybody hops on the 'but you need to include an ISBN with page number requests' train, I'll just point out that that book has no ISBN. :P

Edwina Book Anaconda | 27198 comments Z ... I posted 2 pics on my profile Summary 1 and Summary 2. Part of the summary was on the front of the dust jacket and part on the back.
