This hardback version didn't sell in the UK and is now relisted.
Meanwhile, another paperback has surfaced ... unsigned, slightly cheaper, in bad condition and with Heartland Anthology ...

Conudrum? Depends. The quality of the hardback version of any book is usually superior compared to the paperback one. And it's - by far - the same for this one.
Furthermore, I'm not sure, whether the colour plates of the singles are included in the paperback, and if so ... hhm, it is definitely not the same quality of paper.
Also printwise the paperback is clearly of lower quality. Insofar it's mainly the signature that counts for this one, IMO.

and yes I'd agree with you re hardbacks, I was surprised that the signature seems to be the only reason for the paperback on ebay to command such a high price?

...Still, even the b/w prints of the Andrea White art look like bad beside those in the hardback version ...
...I remember when I received the paperback from The Reptile House,
I was so gutted, that I put it back into the envelope and preferred to forget where I'd stored it ...
... Honestly, already that green colour on the cover is ... well, as good as anything.
