I bought this version (as a gift) thinking it would complete my sister's Dean Koontz hardcover collection nicely - when it arrived I nearly died.Its about the size of a mass market paperback, has cheap printing (text isn't even aligned right on the first 50 pages), and a cover that looks like it was scanned off the real thing and printed on a piece of wet cardboard. It felt so bad that I thought I might damage it just by holding it...Sure, go buy the book yeah but not THIS VERSION!
