Is the red one correct or is the green one?
My guess is both covers are associated with that ISBN, and recently some kind of automated updating associated the newer red cover with the ISBN all over the internet, because it's coming up now in all kinds of searches. But I believe the green one was originally correct.
Yeah I see that now as I do some searching, sorry. Hmm so I suppose alternate cover edition should be made then? Predominantly I'm seeing the red cover throughout Google search results, but the ISBN-13 definitely produces the green cover at times.
I get this with Grey Area by Will Self.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
I have the edition that looks like a grey version of traditional Penguin covers which shows up when the book is in thumbnail.
The cover that shows up in the main view is a newer one which is on Amazon UK under the same ISBN.
ETA I also have one or two others - can't remember what they are just now, and plenty where the cover only shows in thumbnail, and the space is blank white in the main page view.
Add a new edition with without the ISBN noting that it is an alternate cover edition, or post publication date,publisher etc and some one will add. I have saved both covers.
Sorry, it's in a box at the moment and I'm not feeling too well. I'd best just add it to my shelf of stuff to amend when I become a librarian
k - well I ll add an addition with the cover - we can add other details later Hope your feeling better soon

The green image is the one that has been attached to this edition for ages.
The green one is the image for "small cover" and "medium cover," the red one is assigned to "large cover"....weird.
