Why has this cover been used 120 times?

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316357200.01._SY400_SCLZZZZZZZ... for the book Desserts by Pierre Hermé This was the only cover available until I combined the author.

I'm guessing the cover was used on A Racing Life by Dick Francis 120 times. The works might've needed to be separated in the past. If a cover is flagged before separation, it doesn't ever go away (as long as any flags remain). Flagging traps the wrong cover to the work.

I think there's already a bug report for that....

Please disregard! This is a different situation than I was thinking of. Amazon covers will usually drop off the work with enough flagging.

Looking.

Here's how I sussed this, and what can be done.

1. If you look at the URL you can see an ISBN in it. That ISBN is 0316357200
2. You can then just do a straight Google search for that ISBN 0316357200. Up pops clear confusion about this book and its cover.
3. The Amazon page shows it too. See https://www.amazon.com/Desserts-Pierre-Herme/dp/0316357200 It even shows the back of the book coming from the other book!

As I reconstruct this:

1. The cover was correct--it was the deserts.
2. Members used it, so LibraryThing recorded it as the best cover for the work.
3. For whatever reason, Amazon changed the image. But they didn't change the URL, because Amazon has only one URL per ISBN.
4. LibraryThing doesn't know when Amazon changes the cover. We don't keep local copies of Amazon covers, for legal and technical reasons. Also, cover changes are constant, and the flow would be taxing.

The solution here is to report the cover to Amazon. If you'd like them to change it back, go to https://www.amazon.com/Desserts-Pierre-Herme/dp/0316357200 and report it also.

Thanks.

>6 timspalding: Thank you. Reported image on Amazon page as you suggested.

I should have said that I reported it already. But the more reports, the better, I'm sure.
