Buying Guide
Which format should you choose?
Choose paperback if you want a physical copy in a flexible binding. Choose the hardcover if you prefer that format and want the introduction and illustrations named in its product title. Choose the Kindle edition if you want a digital copy. The supplied information does not establish that every edition has identical supplementary material, so check edition details when that matters.
How can you avoid choosing the wrong book?

What should you compare between listings?
Start with format, then compare the edition description and any stated extras.
