Hi all. Sorry if this is the wrong board for this but couldn't find another more suited. I just recieved my copy of Andre LaMothe's Tricks of the 3D Game Programming Gurus : Advanced 3D Graphics and Rasterization. On amazon, it shows the cover of this book as: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~u1am3/tricks1.jpg yet my book's cover looks like: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~u1am3/tricks2.jpg Just wondered if anyone else had the same version as me and whether it is indeed the same book. Cheers, BBB. EDIT: checked amazon again and they list the book as having 1300 pages...mine has over 1700! :s

ok cheers. Must be a pre-release cover on amazon then. Not sure about the page count though :s I''ll assume that more = better

Yeah,

I noticed that on Amazon''s UK site they had the funky cover, and on the US-based site they had the one that is actually on the cover.

It''s a trick, every word after page 1000 is ''rabble'' since they thought noone would read that far anyway.
