    It certainly adds a touch of class...

    Info for the Catalogue, all versions are identical in terms of Copyright page and ISBN. The WH Smith book has a different colour binding (Yellow rather than Black) to has the same Yellow binding as the Standard Trade.

    Also to preempt requests, all of these books are spoken for and were bought per existing requests. i *may* be able to get more of the Waterstones and WH Smiths, but let me know quick as if Mr Mercedes was anything to go by they only lasted about a week and the half price deal didn't hang around either.
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Your request has been fulfilled!
    I hope to start shipping these out either Sat or Monday. PM me your shipping requests (Slow/cheap or fast/pricey also whether you require insurance and or tracking.

    EDIT: Regarding the Airport Edition:

    There IS an Airport edition. I confirmed this whilst in Australia. (they had it in the airport there but it was labelled "printed in Australia").
    I didn't buy it as it would have meant it getting bashed about in my travel case and I *assumed* the UK airport would have it as well. Unfortunately that was not the case. I will be in and out of other airports over the next few weeks and will still keep an eye out for it.
    Awesome!
    Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.

    Yes they do! Got mine in the mail today. Waterstones packaging leaves a lot to be desired but luckily the book was unharmed.

    edit...........the "book" was unharmed but the dust jacket was not. I contacted Waterstones and rather than send another dust jacket (as I requested) they have shipped another book! Customer service above and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I saw this recently when I was working in Oz. The book is identical to the UK Airport edition, except that it states "Printed in Australia" on the back. Some may consider this ANOTHER variant

    I might have to draw the line there. Heck, it has to be drawn somewhere right?

    It has a different ISBN so it IS another variant.

    I know I'm late to the proverbial party, to say the least, but how / where would one get a blue UK HC with blue page-edge stain? Any leads / source info would be appreciated.

    There are 2 copies on UK ebay right now. If sellers won't ship to the U.S. I can help out. PM me.

    SG: Thanks, will get ahold of you if need be. Having slept on my post/request, though, I think I'm going to hold off on getting a "special" copy until I've actually read the thing...with reviews that are all over the board, I'd hate to spend $50 on a cool UK copy, get it, read it, and be among those that didn't care for it. Disappointment is easier to handle with you've just spent $12 at Costco (half-off) on the book rather than $50.

    Darn thing sure is pretty, though.
