The 4th print is confirmed, and its place in the sequence is also roughly confirmed (i.e., it's not a Revised Edition, and the first iteration of the Revised Edition did indeed have yellow flyleaves).So, yes, TSR really did switch from yellow to white to yellow again. The only real question is whether they did it for one print, or four.Foul
