The advance reading copy contains an interesting letter from the publisher, and other minor differences. Also (not shown), the maps on pages 233-235 are missing and the type quality of the whole ARC is poor. Front cover is nearly identical (the only difference being that in the photo within the words of the title, a bit more of the lower portion of the photo is visible) and therefore is not reproduced here.
