Appears to be the approved version, it's missing the bottom print, but has
the registered mark and the 6+.

I stumbled across these, complete surprise.

Is there much of an interest in the book and brick as they had a few more ?

If you read the text at the bottom of the current catalog image, it says "NOT
FINALLY APPROVED BY LICENSOR - FOR SALES MATERIAL ONLY"

That makes me think that the current catalog image is a prototype image and not
the actual book cover that made it to publishing.

Cheers,
Randy

That could be it, but where does the different number come from? Is that also
related to a prototype?

Does anyone know if they are readily available anywhere/everywhere ?

I have the chance to buy others but that may not be possible after tomorrow.

The bricks don't seem to be listed yet.

I got the original image off S@H USA, which was where it was officially for sale
in October, though not any longer. The ISBN number is from Amazon USA, and they
are still using the same number, no difference at all. I'll order one from
Amazon in the USA as soon as possible after I've received the local version,
which will be a UK import, currently on back-order. Might be that both S@H USA
and Amazon USA used the publisher's information initially.

For some reason I can find two versions on a popular Dutch online store. The

Suggests there must be, no idea what that would be.

The Hardcover however is normally the more expensive.

Are you certain about that?
Does anyone have a paperback edition?

No I am not certain about that, this information is from online research.

I have found three prints of this book in English:

ISBN-13 | ISBN-10 | Title | Publish Date
9780241314227 | 0241314224 | LEGO - The LEGO Book New Edition (Hardback) | 4-Oct-18
9781465467140 | 1465467149 | LEGO - The LEGO Book New Edition (Paperback) | 2-Oct-18
9781465478207 | 1465478205 | LEGO - The LEGO Book New Edition (Prebound) | 2-Oct-18

'Prebound' means the publisher sends a batch of books (without the covers)
to an specialist binding company (sometimes do this in-house) and the batch of
books are covered differently. The end market is usually schools, but it can
also be for prisons, hospitals, library archives, etc. In this case DK did rebound
this book as hardback for libraries, but its ISBN is 9781465478207.

Also note the geo-codes and publisher codes from the ISBNs:

02-41314 is Dorling Kindersley, London, UK
14-65467 is Dorling Kindersley, New York, USA
14-65478 is Dorling Kindersley (Special Editions), USA
