(e)bookstore anomalies

colinsky · 03-04-2010, 03:52 AM

Ever see something on an online bookstore that looks not quite right? Perhaps a book price that is too high (higher than a paperback, anyways!), a cover image that doesn't match* (two books with the same title)?

Post your image here!

To get things started (I won't name the site)

* Actually, this can be a real problem. I have seen ebook sites use a cover image of a specific title to represent a generic or public/domain text which does not include the translation/forward/material that the edition pictured implies.

Excellent. Jane got around, didn't she? Here's one I saw in December at the Sony site. I looked a couple of days later and it had been fixed.

I went to post a Facebook link to the Books on Board listing of Jessica Conant-Park's new book, "Cook the Books". Had it all ready to post when I noticed the author was listed as "unknown". Somehow I didn't think Jess would appreciate that much, so I used the BN link instead
