The one you linked is the trade paperback edition. This thread is to create an ACE for the mass market paperback edition.
If the photo I already linked in my OP of the back cover with the ISBN will not suffice, here are photos of the front cover, the back cover with ISBN, and the copyright page: https://imgur.com/a/FW3TI5u

DESCRIPTION [transcribed from the back cover]:
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
EDITION LANGUAGE: English
COVER ART: So, the problem here is that the publisher has not yet updated the cover art to the new edition on their website or Amazon. As such, I have made a scan of the cover of my copy. Both a cropped version of the scan and an uncropped version for any librarian with image-cropping skills greater than mine and software better than MS Paint want to crop it themselves. Also included is a photo of the back cover with the ISBN included to prove this is a real edition.
