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.
