This entry shows a completely different book cover from the title, plus I can find no real evidence that it has anything to do with Mistry ... you could say it's a mystery. (groan)

Any suggestions?

Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments Blame Amazon. It seems to have been imported with the wrong info from there.

I'm not finding any correct information anywhere. NAB it?

You can NAB it, but another option is to flag it for Amazon to research (on the Amazon website), and let them take care of it. They do actually correct the listing if you show them where the listing is wrong. In this case it would be easy to point out, because the author listed has never written a book with that title (even translated), and as previously said, the cover is totally incorrect. They'll generally act to fix these kinds of things, once you alert them.

Dori (adorible) | 196 comments I don't believe there is any reason to NAB it. There is an entry for this ISBN on Google books. It matches the cover. I've updated the book entry here based on that information...

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments Thanks for finding that Dori.
I checked WorldCat and a couple of places, but not Google - good thing you did! = )

Dori (adorible) | 196 comments No problem. I moved Google up on my book links list recently, because I kept forgetting about it :)
