I received my book today from Amazon.ca and it's the second printing from Veritgo. I was looking forward to getting it as it has high reviews. It was shrinkwrapped which I liked because it will reduce the scratch marks on the cover. Upon opening it I was very disappointed. The production value of this version is horrible; at the spine you can see the pages are loose and the spine ribbon is missing. Upon closer examination I can see and feel a big bulge in the inside front cover; apparently the ribbon (possibly) got glued in the wrong place. The pages are also warped. I'm returning it. It was $40. The Titan version is $50 so I wonder if it has a higher production value.
