I guess you have to be a genuine nerd to notice stuff like this, but Amazon 
has just posted a slightly different image of the cover of AtD than the one 
they've had so far. Barnes and Noble still has the original cover:

And here is the new, updated version on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159420120X/sr=8-1/qid=1154871288/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1671899-5596848?ie=UTF8

On the original version, the upper right and lower left corners are slightly 
frayed. Also, the red seal is slightly tipped. On the new version the image 
on the seal seems more vertical, the frayed corners are gone, and the color 
is a shade lighter (but the right edge is more smudged). Now why would they 
make minute adjustments like that? The focus group didn't like the original 
version? Became dizzy looking at the tilted seal?
In my opinion, the original version looked better, but as I said, I guess 
you have to be kind of nerdy to even pay attention to minuscule details like 
these.
