Different Cover, Same Book?
346779
I opened the package and wondered if I have gotten the right book, or even wondering if I had ordered this book at all...
Turns out that yes, I had ordered this book, only that Amazon doesn't have the right cover online. I was attracted by the dishes I see on the cover, and I don't think I would have even considered buying the book had I seen the cover of the one I got in the mail.
I don't know if mine, or the one pictured on Amazon's page is newer.
Anyway, I still haven't gotten the chance to make anything from the book, but it seems nice, and I can only expect high quality from the Culinary Institute of America. I don't give it 5 stars because I think it could use more pictures.

I like Randy Singer's books, and I recently ordered this one for my Kindle.  As I started reading it I realized I had already read this book in hard copy version.  However, I think it had a different title.  I can't find the original, but he had a couple of books that involved "Albert Finney".  I'm rating it as a one star because it bothers me that sometimes books are re-released with a different title.  If I am wrong, then someone let me know.

The text differs from two previous versions of the book. The illustrations/covers are similar, but the story, dialogue and other details differ greatly. It is inexpensive and paperback--and I prefer what appears to be the hard cover edition of this publication (even though they are different).

Great book however the paperback has a different cover. Don't be tricked into buying both thinking they are different books. They are the same.

I thought the cover of the book would look as posted here, but the deluxe cover and back  is different. The original title of magazine is not the same. they have a banner strip with the name listed in different font going across it (covering up the original wording) . And it does not have the original wrap around cover with the crowd on the back. It was important for me to see the original cover title and back illustration. If that is what you want, then you need to find what is called a "facsimile" version that is sold. However, the facsimile version does not include the deluxe extra perks (which I don't know what they are  because i never took the book out of the shrink wrap and opened it because it is a gift) so I cant compare otherwise. It did appear as it the deluxe version has an actual book cover over the hardback book unlike a facsimile version that the cover is printed on directly. I am buying this book as a gift for my boyfriend who is a Muhammed Ali fan and I'm sure he would appreciate the facsimile version better.

**update 8/5/16: i just received the facsimile version (not the deluxe) and i am glad. I know he would appreciate this one better. It is also bigger. I know he will love it!

I have worked through this book with the red cover. I was given the other book in the purple cover assuming it would be a follow up book with different puzzles. I am shocked to find both books are absolutely identical except for their covers.

This is not what the cover looks like! There are 2 versions of this book and I got the one made of cardboard. Definitely not like the one pictured here.

I baught and loved the hard cover of this book. When I saw  the paperback version with the fish gourd on the cover (a picture of a
different equily beautiful gourd apears on the hard cover version) I thought yahoo, David Mcfarlane wrote a new book,Gourd art 2. Boy was I wrong. Its the same book, a very good book but the same. Rookie mistake, live and learn.

Cover shown is what I ordered, but not what was rec'd. Ok, because contents identical. But still preferred the other cover.

BEWARE - I ordered the book but it was bound to a totally different book.  The cover was correct but not the contents.  Hope the publisher is aware of this.

The cover on the book that I have is much different than the one pictured.  The one I have is dated 1995, so it is much older, but still has very valuable information in it though some of it is outdated to say the least.  I don't know if an updated version would have more up to date statistics in it, but the nutritional information presented is still quite valid.

Descent price for the book I ordered and came by the expected delivery date, but the picture of the book cover was not the same cover of the book I received. Was trying to replace a damaged book that I borrowed and was a little disappointed that they didn't match up. My friend didn't make a big deal about that so I guess no problem there.

The book was not the same as the picture. I was looking for the original I had, which was like the picture shown in black, I recieved a different cover than this one.  Content is the same, but I was dissappointed that it wasn't the black cover.

I recently purchased "Best Foot Forward" by Jeanne Ray.  When I initially opened the cover of the book, I found the following printed on the back of the title page:  "First published in the United states under the title Step-Ball-Change, 2002".  Had I known this, I would not have purchased the book, since I already own the earlier edition.  I don't think it's feasible to return the book since it was shipped from England.

I don't necessarily blame the seller.  Whoever wrote the book's listing for Amazon should have stated that "Best Foot Forward" is the same book as "Step-Ball-Change" with a different cover.  Even though the description sounded familiar, the book did have a different title and publication date.  I cannot actually inspect the book, so I must depend on what is listed on Amazon about it.  In this case, the description lacked information that was very critical to my purchase decision and my satisfaction with it.  Perhaps this review will prevent someone else from being as dissatisfied as I am.

this book and the book, Dance of the Four Winds have identical content.  not happy about wasting my money buying 2 identical books with different titles and different covers.  What is this?

I have been looking for this book for the past few years, and no bookstore ever has it in stock.  So a couple weeks ago, I finally found it in a bookstore and bought it.  Or so I THOUGHT.  Turns out, there is another book, made to look just like this one!  It is called The Big Fix, but in white letters, and also about fixing football.  It is by a different author, (Most likely trying to make money off of this author's book and interviews on TV about his book)

Reading the bad reviews about THIS book, I wonder if the other reviewers may have bought the OTHER book by mistake, because the complaints I am reading describe all the faults of "The Big Fix" book I just read!

Could this book here, "The Fix" be just as bad, as reviewers say here, or did they read the OTHER book, thinking it was THIS book, like I just did?

I would never have known I read the wrong book, until I realized that certain dates of matches given, were fairly recent, and I have been looking for this book for years, BEFORE the dates mentioned in the book.  So I looked at the copyright page, and sure enough, it was only out since 2014.  Otherwise, I might have never known I read the wrong book!

SO BEWARE!!  THERE ARE TWO BOOKS WITH PRACTICALLY THE SAME NAME by two different authors!
