The US had a different version of the book... hardcover from memory.
The US version cost an arm and a leg, the version I got (red, like
that one) was poorer quality printing and available for something
like 1/4 of the "real" book. I got it while I liked in Japan. I
believe the one I have was supposed to be used in Taiwan only.
