Year of the Dragon Hobb Give-Away

[Farseer]

Yes, it's for a US copy, fool-ish.

As for the differences, it's mainly just the spelling choices (here we go with the useless 'u' thing again! ) as far as I can tell. I did also learn from the Newsgroup recently that apparently the maps differ between the UK and US versions as well, so I will be interested to see what the differences are as I'm not waiting until April for the UK version...

Erk! Sorry. My post was so misleading that I misled myself halfway through!

Yes, the UK and US maps do differ (in the rest of the RotE books) but, as joost pointed out, the UK versions of DK and DH don't have maps in them so it's doubtful CoD or BoD will have them either!

It's possible that this is because a map was quite useless at that point anyway, unless you are new to RotE as *RWC spoilers*

Spoiler

the idea is that neither the dragons nor the keepers really know the direction that they're going in anyway. If there was a map, at least in DK and DH, Kelsingra would not be on it as that would be a major plot spoiler. As I have said somewhere else (sorry to be repeating myself like an echo from the past), the scene of the realm as we and the characters know it, and have known it in ages past, is changing...finally blending the old with the new. What we once thought was simply Trehaug is actually also Frengong and so on. Like each character's perspective on history, their geographical perspective is changing also.

We all have to struggle together. I love it!
