@ElChicoDelRock - the pics are from a brand new spare copy that I have, if you are ever interested and want to make me an offer.

Actually, I do. Sent PM.

For the sake of completing the conversation here I want to offer a comparison between my book and Urulöké's:

- My copy has no headband or footband.
- On my copy, the separation between the textblock and the spine is excessive.
- On my copy, the copyright page is exactly the same as Urulöké's.
- Color of cover board is exactly the same.

My conclusion is that I probably got a battered down copy OR a copy with manufacturing defects (can't post pics since I wont have access to it for a while). I would find it very unlikely that it is a fake, since the board is exactly of the same material as the other Deluxes I have (which were obtained from other sources).

I would be interested in seeing pictures of your copy, when you get a chance, my copy is exactly the same as Urulöké's pictures.

Sure, I'll post pictures when I have access to the book.

Thanks, I would like to see your copy, as it appears to be different from any copy that I have seen before.
