I grabbed a copy of the Deluxe Edition this past weekend, and it's pretty 
nice.  My only complaint is that the pagination is different from the Viking 
edition (the one with the V-2 blueprint on the cover) and won't line up 
properly with the Weisenberger Companion.

Doesn't matter, really.  I bought it to sit pristinely on my shelf anyways.
