Having seen the US cover I'm a little confused nay disappointed about the cover that we are getting in the UK

if you nip off to amazon.co.uk just wondered what you guys thought of it??

Yup, that's pretty shitty.

The hardback seems to be the same as the US one though.

No that's the US Hardcover that you can buy it through Amazon.

eek. that sure is ugly... :crazy:
but you can always order the american edition through st.helens or amazon.com...
the funny thing is - if you're not in the EU, it's cheaper to order directly from the states than from the UK. and to make the nonsense bigger - the shipping is much faster as well :laughing: (at least it has been for me so far).

But, yeah, I really like the American version more.

Oh my god. That is awful. Did they find someone off the street and ask them to design a cover? There is no way that could have been done by a professional. Who did that?

I could draw a better cover holding the pencil with my rectum. It's horrid!
