All the Uk editions regardless of where I purchased (Waterstones,WH Smith, Tesco, Asda, etc) all had full number lines beginning with ‘1’. Looks like you have 4th printings.[/QUOTE]


Simon, my...

They didn't take on board the packaging requests then?

Simon is correct - there is no dust jacket on the S/L.

Antoni said it best earlier. They know how much their product is worth - they just charged a bunch of folk £250 for it - adequate packaging should be a given!

That would be great if they do that for you guys. Although they didn't seem to bother with extra packaging for Siep's copy going to the Netherlands.

I got a confirmation, Brian.

Doesn't surprise me actually - I think it's pretty overpriced for what it is.[/QUOTE]
