I thought this was a new release too, since it had a date of 2008 as release date. Now after reading Avid Reader's review, I see what happened, I guess it was the Mummy Case re-released. I am very dissapointed that this wasn't mentioned, because I thought I was getting a new book, but turns out to be an old one. Needs to be mentioned somewhere so fans don't think they're getting one thing, but really getting an old book.
