Presumably they changed the title somewhere along the line, so that cover now attached to it no longer matches.

Normally, the title would not be changed, but the editions can be combined. In fact that is the usual way to handle this.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments If the book has been published under the title then it should not be changed. It is acceptable to combine editions that are the same book with different titles (happens often with US vs UK publishing)

Ideally finding the correct cover for the book also

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I have combined.

The author needs to be the same - you had added as Robert Leiken when his others are under Robert S. Leiken. I changed the author names to match.

Then using the combine link on the top right hand corner of the book page, selected the editions and combined.

In addition, after researching there is no 2008 edit with the title Fire......., so I changed the title to match.

You will need to check the edition you have shelved since I changed the manually added book to the ebook version keeping the one with the ISBN's as the hardback version
