Abby | 2 comments Hello! I have a beautiful paperback copy of Jane Austen's Persuasion by Wordsworth Classics but the cover hasn't been added for it yet. The edition was published Jan. 4 1998 if that helps your search for the proper cover photo.

Thank you!

Librarians don't search for covers. It is up to the person making the request to provide an acceptable source.

Abby | 2 comments Is this an acceptable source: https://www.amazon.com/Persuasion-Wor...

That is already listed with cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It was scanned at low resolution by me from the somewhat scruffy copy in my possession.

Please also provide an image of the page with issue details including ISBN so we can confirm the edition.

I've added a scan of the title page; i think this is the right edition as it is the only one listed from Arrow Books with the right page count and ISBN, but of course there is no way to tell whether it is one of the other Arrow paperback editions from the 1980s for which no cover or ISBN details are given.

Martin | 35862 comments From the details there it seems you have 1982 edition, it is unlikely that the same cover would be used in 1994.

OK, I have created yet another Arrow Books edition with a specific date of 1982, which still has no cover (though I'd have sworn I included the file!) Unfortunately because the ISBN is already in use it is not possible to give it an ISBN (which is probably why there are so many Arrow editions with no details):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And apparently the page count didn't show up either, or got lost in the multiple errors returned by the site while I was attempting to create the new edition :(

Thank you! (I can't mark this thread as 'done' since for some reason it seems to have been most thoroughly hijacked by random other requests...)

Your source links only to Amazon, Amazon do not sell standard ebook only Kindle edition which already has this cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
