12-29-06, 11:40 AM I've recently gotten interested in Eberron and I'm looking to pick up the Campaign Setting book. When shopping online I keep running across two different covers.

and

can someone please explain what the difference is, are they different releases? Thank you.

12-29-06, 12:17 PM I've never seen the first. Have you seen it in person or just online? My guess is that it is an earlier mock up of the cover that was later changed to the final (the second image).

12-29-06, 12:22 PM Grymar's guess is correct. The first image is the mock up cover that was released before the final cover was created (which is the second image), so no printed products have the first cover.
Sharn: City of Towers had a similar mock up cover to the first, too, but that was ultimately changed before to release.

12-29-06, 01:08 PM I have only seen that mock up cover online. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm looking forward to getting deep into this setting. I already have The City of Towers on its way to me from Ebay (after reading one of many "which book should I read first" threads). Thanks again.
