A lightweight summer post today.
This is the British edition of a book I already blogged about here in 2010:

The British edition was published first so this gives me a chance to show illustrations that were different from the American edition, since they were done by the author. As you can see the American edition was also longer than the British.(The "tan" are from the American edition.)
Where is the black slab?
