* This ISBN is for the one I own and is the "Trade" First Edition HC or just "First Edition" HC.
(It is _not_ the " 'Limited' First Edition" as per link above).
* It is approximately 100 pgs. (Not 1!) It is hard to tell as it doesn't have normal page numbers and I don't feel like counting them out to verify Wikipedia.
* Cover is correct.
Details-
Another "Limited Edition" (First Edition) had print of 400 and came in slipcase. The Wikipedia article should be correct:
"The State Of The Art - An original edition appeared in 1989 as a separate book (Mark V. Ziesing, ISBN 0-929480-06-6). The cover art was by Arnie Fenner, and a limited edition of 400 books in a slipcase appeared, signed by both artist and author"

So:
The Trade Edition ISBN is: 0929480066
The slipcase Limited Edition has an ISBN of :
0929480074
(Taken directly from book.)
So this profile is also incorrect and has incorrect cover as well:
