That's because amazon.de has put that book into the category "English-Books" not books. calibre only searches the books category on amazon websites, otherwise there are too many false positives. If you are downloading metadata for english books, use amazon.com not amazon.de

Thank you very much for this explanation.

1 way: is to enable Amazon.de on the Configure Metadata Sources screen
(and make sure Amazon.com is disabled )
