And yes, I thought the differences were just a few Hallmark markings… until I got it home to compare. The Hallmark edition is actually smaller, about an inch on each side. And it uses a rougher paper; the artwork looks better in the standard edition. So if you want this book, take my advice and order the regular edition through Amazon.

(And sadly, the fact that it is smaller and has lesser paper just makes me happier that I bought it, because it means it’s differenter!)
