MERGED-->Differences In Collector's Edition Books

[david]

i live in so cali, mine is missing the quote too.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I live in MI, and I don't have the quote, either.

 

[DrTeeth]

I have it!

Europeans

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I have it!

Europeans

 

[theedge111]

Im in Canada...no quote.

 

[Lara_Croft]

a friend of mine found 2 cd's (HTDAAB) with this deluxe version!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

No doubt about it. The quote was removed simply in light of the Iraq war. Weapons of mass destruction!?!? Remember that deception?

 

[BAW]

California, no quote

 

[beli]

Australia - quote included

 

[beli]

Does everyone have the 2 red diagrams of the "sequence of events in a two stage radiation explosion" ?

Just curious cause those pages werent on the scanned pages of Losts.

 

[BAW]

I have a red page with a white diagram and a white page with a red diagram

 

[starsgoblue]

Mine doesn't have it.

I don't think it would have been removed because of that. I don't think Edge really gives a flying fuck if he ruffles anyone's feather by saying something like that (remember his postcard in Q?)

 

[beli]

Thanks, BAW. Thats exactly what I meant.

So it appears the only difference between the Eurasian and the North American books is the lack of text on the Edge Hand page.

or so it appears thus far. lol.

Any word on what our South American friends have?

I think it was censored. In fact I have no doubt. Maybe not by U2, maybe yes. If not them definately by Universal Publishing in the U.S. where our versions were printed.

I think it's pathetic.

 

[mkdominatr]

Mine is missing too. Im in Philly. Got it at Best Buy.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

This was beyond the band. This wasn't the Edge's or U2's choice. It was a publishing choice.

 

[AquariumDrinker]

This was beyond the band. This wasn't the Edge's or U2's choice. It was a publishing choice.

The publishing company is ridiculously over-sensitive.

 

[ultrraviolette]

Mine doesn't have it bought it in Pennsylvania, guess that means I'm not a SOOOOOO special American

 

[BostonAnne]

I noticed Edge's name wasn't on his handprint page before I read this thread. I thought it was weird, since the other 3 had their handprints identified. I'm bummed out that it was eliminated.

 

[BonoFox1]

Here's what mine looks like, beli:

Mine looks like this also,
I figures this was Edge's hand cause it is not lables like the others...Got mine in Hollywood CA

 

[beli]

Mine looks like this scan by
LostAtMoon

 

[anitram]

If it was removed as to not offend, that's LAME.

 

[pianorocker]

I don't have that quote...perhaps that is what the "extra line is needed" means? This is all just so bizarre!

 

[madonna's child]

Mine doesn't have it. That's lame.

Of course, mine also doesn't indicate it as Edge's hand (I assumed.) I wonder why they left that out?

 

[starsgoblue]

Well...that theory might explain the quote being removed but not the caption "Edge's hand". There are plenty of other political statements in the book....quoting a famous novel isn't dangerous . This novel has been featured in several television shows and movies even....nothing that advant garde.

novel? Not what I would call it. lol

[No. 3.5]

I've got the text on the hand - I've got the UK edition though.
I don't have the insert text here (I don't think I do - not sure where to look).
