Its annoying when they do that, I'm sure they do it to fool people into buying another copy.

Wait till it happens to you!

It is almost the same thing as false advertising, I've noticed many of the books in the library will have different covers but the same title and I do think it is to fool you into buying it without reading some of the pages and content inside to see if it is any different.
Judy I'm sure you will be wiser now. Sorry you got stung.

I'm with you Gabby.  I wouldn't find it funny if it happened to me.  Kudos to Judy for her solution to the problem.  It was nice to turn her problem into a boon for someone else.

That is a really deceptive thing to do.  I bought a Christmas ornament magazine a few years ago.  It was the same as their Christmas' ornament special from a year before, only with a different cover. 

I feel your pain :D  Nice gesture though to give away the extra copy.
