That one shown above is the first printing and the harder of the two to find (or, at least, the more expensive).The second printing has a different illustration in the red sphere, and is somewhat easier.That said, it's one of those things where, if you wait, you'll find one soon enough/eventually.

My recollection is that ArM 1st editions had different color back covers inks/fonts, in addition to the different image on the front cover. My first printing has black text ink on a white background color, with red hand signs. Anyone else able to confirm other colors/variants???And it was book format, never a boxed set.
