Looking at my new copy of
The Visitor, I thought you guys might want to know what physical changes have been made to the book(s).
The very first page (page v), on the opposite side of the cover, has the first six book covers in black and white, with the
http://www.scholastic.com/animorphs URL under them.
The listed books on page iii are only the first four.
Scholastic is listed as being in New York, Toronto, London, Auckland, Sydney, Mexico City, New Delhi, and Hong Kong. I don't know if this is new or what, but whatever.
Page i still says "For Michael". The "If you purchased this book without a cover..." and "No part of this publication may be reproduced..." messages are there. The copyright is still ©1996, but it also says "This edition first printing, May 2011"
No morphing animation in the lower-right corner.
The sample of
The Encounter at the end is the scene where Tobias and the others are in the woods as wolves. But there are "
* * *" dividers used twice to skip over sections, so it actually covers a lot. Is this different than the original print of
The Visitor? It ends at the "They were living nightmares" line as they're trying to demorph from wolves.
The ads in the back of the book are these: Goosebumps Horrorland, The Owls/Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and Wolves of the Beyond, a new series by
Guardians author Kathryn Lasky.
The last major thing is credits for the new covers:
Cover art is by Craig White, and Cover design is by Steve Scott. Neither of them are on Wikipedia.
