    There was some speculation that the U.K. Airport editions only had the Tiger variant. I can confirm that ALL Four animals are are available on the Airport edition.

    UK airports, but I believe Australia have similar editions (but show printed in Australia) and I don't think the US has an equivalent.

    It's been mentioned elsewhere, but for those that collect them, the UK Airport editions have the 4 different animals as well. Apologies in advance, but I really cant trawl the UK's airports looking...

    They should all have a sticker on them, unless the person who took the photo removed it.

    Hardbacks are quite fleeting in UK bookstores. Once they have sold out of the initial run, they rarely restock. Supermarkets tend to get subsequent printings, especially the more ‘mainstream’...

    Just got a reply for H & S regarding what happens after the 1st print run are sold. The book will go to a plain board, no animal at all. This means all of the animals should be equally common, with...

    Ha! you think I just 'throw together' these photo shoots? Meticulous planning man, meticulous. :evil:

    It seems to be completely random. Except Tesco's who only have their Peacock variant. They definitely get delivered in blocks of the same cover though.

    Just got a call from Waterstones to pick up my S/L. They also had an additional delivery of books, so managed to pick up a few more variants. While I was there the WH Smith that I visited earlier...

    Somebody has screwed up royally on the ordering of these books. I’m not sure if it because it’s a book by Steve AND Owen rather than just Steve, but the stock in ALL the shops I have visited has been...

    Hmm inconclusive. So the WH Smith editions DO have an image, but it may or may not be just the tiger. I’ll report back what mine is when I pick it up later.

    TBH I think it’s a moot point as there...
