Jenny (narcisse) | 179 comments If the image is not the correct image for that ISBN, then it needs to be changed. But if there are two covers for that ISBN, then an alternate cover edition needs to be made for it.

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/30... This is the user who uploaded the cover image. You can message her to ask if it is in error.

photo is at an angle - I don't know if that's a problem.

Dori (adorible) | 196 comments Got 11 & 12. As for the angle, I'd say it's still better than no cover at all.

Sandra | 31508 comments No, if it's the incorrect image, it's likely it was imported from Amazon or B&N. If you've got the right one just upload it.

Lobstergirl But if a librarian uploaded it, it wasn't imported from Amazon or B&N.

Maybe more care needs to be exercised in this area, because of course one ISBN can have more than one cover.

Sandra | 31508 comments Looking at the 'The Hermit and the Rose' the cover uploaded is in Arabic, the book is in English.

So the arabic cover should be on an arabic book which wouldn't have the same ISBN, as ISBN's are language coded.

Abigail, maybe you should message the librarian who uploaded the image and ask him to create the book in arabic. If it is the same book, then combine, and the cover isn't lost.

Deborah Harkness (deborah_harkness) | 4 comments Is there somebody we should notify when the cover image is wrong? I've got a case where somebody put up the US cover for the UK book--I suspect because when it refreshed from Amazon (rather than Amazon.co.uk) the wrong cover got inserted. Added complication: the UK cover hasn't yet been released so it needs to be set back to the "no image" place holder.

Sandra | 31508 comments Deborah, I'd just delete the cover, especially if it is already on the US edition.
