If anyone has a RED 2009 and wishes to swap/sell.Please let me know.

just take the dust covers off. Are they not all red on the inside?

Not the point! Also the inside covers arn't all the same.Some have photos on the hardback,some don't.

I know, Just pulling your chain... So can anyone explain the difference? The red books are from the factory? contain pictures on the inside cover? The other ones are published by Virgin?

No.Not sure about the exact demographic for distribution,but USA tended to get red,as did europe upto 2003.Then for some reason we ended up with black and red books in various parts of the world.As for the picture son the hardback,this seems to be hit and miss too! Plus you can get black hardbacks!(I have just sold a 2004).

The Corse books are not the same as the factory books.
