Yes, it is the mass market edition. It only just recently was released.

Not true. I have both and they're not the same size (a difference of a few mm). I can't check right now but I'll post pics later.

Thanks, Michaël. Are there any other differences? I'm just trying to figure out a way to get a UK version off eBay, etc.

I knew I would get that reply, but in essence they're the same. Same ISBN, same cover, same text. Slightly different paper stock. Only a few mm difference in height and logo is on another position on the spine (don't now if that counts for all copies). It has something to do with different printers used.

The UK version has 'Printed and bound in Great Britain by CPI Group Ltd.' on the copright page.
The US version has 'Printed in the United States of America....... ' on the copyright page.

HOLLY SHIT!!!!

I think I need one of those!


Is the pricing in the same order on the U.K. edition or is the U.K. price first?

Pricing is in the same order. Where you're barcode reads 51295, on the UK is 00799.

Thanks, Niels! Maybe now I can get a UK version--or not--isn't the bar code on the mass market paperback 00799?

I think it's 50799 on the mass market paperback, but I don't know for sure.

Not sure what the 5 is for But the 799 is the price.
