If the ISBN is wrong in the MARC record, you can fix the MARC record.

If the ISBN is correct, but your book jacket image provider provides
the wrong book jacket, ask them to fix their mistake. Or switch to a
different book jacket image provider.

Otherwise, there's currently no way to turn added content on or off
for a given title in the database. Well, you could effectively turn it
off by deliberately providing a non-existent ISBN... but that's rather
ugly. No sense in blaming the poor MARC record or Evergreen for the
book jacket image provider's mistake.
