Ok, I know for a FACT this question has been asked before-I remember seeing it and I also remember not writing the answer down. YES I had a major oops moment.  
Anywho the search feature revealed nothing so I’m asking it again, please before you whip out the “beat the ignorant” stick, answer the question…

There was a science fiction book, with a man with two left (or right) arms on the cover. One was green and the other was normal.

What is the name of this book???

Help!!

I liked it, but I like most of Harrison.
