So I am hoping there is a way to pull in all these various covers?
Apologies if I am missing something obvious.

You can change which goodreads edition Calibre grabs information from by doing the following:

In the Edit Metadata Individually you can change the "goodreads:0000000" value in the "Ids" field. For example, for the cover you are looking for you can change (or add if it is not in the "Ids" field) this: 'goodreads:20494154" (without the quotes).

This will force calibre to download all the data from that one edition, as well as offer up that cover to download.

Oh, and to find that value when you are looking at the edition you want on goodreads, the id is in the url:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20494154-maskerade

It might be a bit tedious, and I really only do it when the amount of metadata returned is less than I would expect (no series, one line plot description, etc)
