I added an alternate cover edition with the new cover from Amazon, but I'm not sure what's "all messed up" about it. Could you be specific about what needs to be corrected?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Suffused with rich satire, chaotic brilliance, verbal turbulence and wild humour, The Crying of Lot 49 opens as Oedipa Maas discovers that she has been made executrix of a former lover's estate. The performance of her duties sets her on a strange trail of detection, in which bizarre characters crowd in to help or confuse her. But gradually, death, drugs, madness and marriage combine to leave Oepida in isolation on the threshold of revelation, awaiting The Crying of Lot 49.

I know that this edition already exists in the database but it's all messed up and faulty so I figured i'd try adding another edition of it with the correct information. The info isn't all quite consistent and within the same website but I'd argue it works. The Penguin website doesn't have the correct cover but it directly links to the Amazon link with the correct cover. In addition to the sources above, I can also confirm that I own a copy of this edition and all the information adds up. I have linked above photos I took of said copy. Thanks for all the great work you people do!
