Krystal109 | 1086 comments Hi,

I was wondering if these books should be combined:

http://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=...

They are different editions of the same book. One was released as an edition with the Collector's Edtion of the game, while the other was purchasable through Ubisofts website.

I don't own the Black Edition, but I have seen other books with similiar, but not identical, information combined. To me, it seems like this book would be identical with different covers or very similar in content.

There is a librarian note saying not to combine it with the White Edition, but this seems incorrect. Should they be combined and a note added saying WHY they are combined?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I would initially at a glance say yes but since some one has added a note not to I suggest you contact the librarian who added the note and ask why they should not be combined and add the reason if correct to the librarian note.

MissJessie | 866 comments I checked the link attached to White Edition and there is a difference between the two books as to what is included.

Yes, but abridged versions of books are combined frequently for books. Missing stuff, in this case the Black Edition does not come with an extra booklet of 5 8 1/2' x 11 glossy Fan Art prints, is kind of just like abridged information. I'd contact the librarian, but they have messages turned off.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Bump.

Like i said the only difference is Fan Art images that come in a seperate sleeve. The books content is the same.

Krystal, if that's the only difference, then I agree they should be combined. You can edit the Note to point to this thread.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Okay thanks. I didn't want to do it unless someone agreed that an additional leaflet of glosy prints is NOT part of books difference, but a PURCHASE ADDITION.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Wanted to add that Ubisoft's website store states this in the White Editions purchase:

http://store.ubiworkshop.com/assassin...

What is the difference between the White and the Black Editions?

The White Edition is available worldwide on Ubiworkshop and Includes the "Cartes Blanches". The Black Edition is included in the Assassin’s Creed Revelations Animus Edition only and does not include the "Cartes Blanches".

It also states that the "Cartes Blanches" is:

The “Cartes Blanches” will feature art created by talented fans and industry professionals which explores the many possibilities and “what ifs” typical of the AC universe.

If you look at the images, the sleeve in front with the images is the "Cartes Blaches" and is an additional part of your purcahse.
