Cobra: The first 40 years.

Hi All

I ordered up a copy of 'Cobra: The First 40 Years' from a company on amazon before christmas which has mysteriously disappeared in the post, so I now have to order it again (hmmm thats the third package to go missing in recent months).

Looking on the web I see there are two copies of this book (See pic's attached). Same title, author, number of pages and both hardback etc but ones £25 new, the other is nearer £60! Can someone tell me what the difference between them is?

And before Kevin starts, I mean what's different between them other than the front cover...

;>

CeeJay.

I think you answered your own question. As far as I remember one is for the usa market and the other is for the european market. Apart from the front cover there is no difference. Get the one on the left
If you're not sure pm the author, he's a member on Club Cobra - Club Cobra Home

I have a book titled Cobra by Trevor Legate with a green dust cover dating from 1984 with an isbn 0 85429 424 4 number.It has a colour photo of GPG4C and 39PH on front dust cover.I,ve never seen another copy of this book but i assume its been superseded by the ones you all mention.If anyone has any info i would be interested to hear.

Hi Guys

Once again many thanks for the replies. I suspected that the one on the left was an American version, but the price difference in so great that I wanted to check!

Just bought it (used) from Amazon - for £8.94!
