....so often they don't tell you when they're selling an 'older' edition of a book. i just got the sears birth book and i swear the picture on the cover looks like it's from the 70's though the cp date in the book says 1994. but good grief!! at least i didn't pay too much for them but i'm still annoyed!!!

That sucks.
And holy huge siggy batman! LOL
d@mn - it is friggin huge now isn't it.. bah. i wish the development baby tickers weren't so big.... maybe i'll just choose one pic for the siggy challenge.. lol..
the other thing i was thinking about the book - i wonder if there's updated info that i'm missing.. i mean it's the birth book - surely there's new info or statistics in the last 15 years???? bah!

I always double check the ISBN number - that way if you do get an alternate version (and they didn't disclose it) they mis-advertised and you can get your money back.
I've only had to do this once though - seller claimed they didn't see the ISBN (printed in the back cover) and didn't "notice" that they were selling a paperback under a cardcover ISBN number. This was for a textbook so the price differential for what they were selling vs what they said they were selling was signnificant.
oh is this something i can check on amazon? it was through amazon used books.. not sure if i can contact the seller to return it..i've never really run into this there before unfortunately.. sigh. there was def no mention of it in the description though - it said "good used condition, slight cover wear"
