Absolutely true! One of Harry Turtledove's latest books, "Liberating Atlantis" has pictures of dueling ironclad ships (ca. US Civil War) on the cover. Nothing even close to an ironclad appears in the book.

Clive Cussler's latest "Oregon" Novel has a picture of a submerged Chinese junk under water with warm water fish swimming around it. Without giving away the plot, it's a huge contradiction.
