Yes, those are the same edition.

Neither is likely the first printing though, if that is important to you.

Not really important, no.

Thanks for the help, sir!

Easy to spot the early prints on these as they say "50th Anniversary" on the spine while the later prints do not.

I ended up getting the linked Amazon copy tonight.

Both are located in Britain, but Amazon only charged me $6.49CDN for the shipping vs $72CDN for the ebay one.
