Don't forget to include a link to book page which includes the cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. If linking to a site such as Imgur, Dropbox, etc. please state the original source of the image. No B&N or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data, with the exception of Amazon and its subsidiaries.For more details about what sources we can use for covers and other book data, please see: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
I cannot use the website, as it doesn't show the ISBN or any other data. We need a webpage showing the ISBN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private)
I did include a photo link in my original post, which is the cover of the book I have, link in my profile page.

Description:
This book is the result of a 35-year survey of the landscape ecology of lakes in the coastal fringe of West Connemara, started in 1975 by four Dutch ecologists. The book is based on the systematic description of the botanical and chemical changes which have occurred over that period in a series of 20 pre-selected lakes. The book represents one of the very few long term studies of this kind in Ireland and is unusual even on a world scale.
The authors fell in love with the landscape, its people and rich history and that fascination has called them back to the area many times to look carefully at the landscape, the vegetation and its transformations. And like all things lovely, they are hard to convey in rational terms alone. Therefore pictures, paintings, poems and short essays, support the scientific observations.
