Hey all,
Just thought I would share this pic with you. I met Giancarlo over the weekend at Toronto Comic Con and he was such a gracious and genuine dude. He will be at the Niagara Falls Comic con in June as well if anybody here is from the area. He is sending me a signed box cutter and I got a great signed photo.
I just ordered a copy of Leaves of Grass and have noticed that the inscription is different in Gliding Over All and Blood Money. I think I'm going to use the unscription from Blood Money.
What I found trying to get another copy of Leaves of Grass is that the books Amazon is selling have a pale green dust cover now rather than the dark green of the screen used book. Walter specifically asks Skyler for the book with the "dark green cover". I've returned two copies now. The one I bought a couple of months ago was dark green and I sent it to the kids. They've obviously sold so many they have another run and got the color wrong on the dust jacket.
Oh no! I hope mine isn't the lighter one. How noticeable is the difference?
Honestly the dust jacket's of books are affected by many factors. The jacket could be lighter or darker based on age, exposure to sun, dirt, or other foreign factors. These books both look very similar to me, and the lightness of the book on the right could be affected by the lighting when the photo was taken. Also if you found the photo on the left on ebay, I suggest you buy that book, problem solved.The ones I returned had jackets paler than this if I recall. I should have taken pictures of them. I found these photos on eBay.
I think he is saying that the actual books he received were lighter than one he has previously owned. If it is only a little lighter, I won't mind.
Well he posted two photos, so we can assume that the darker book is the one he thinks is accurate. However it is the lighter cover that is much closer to screen. He should have gotten some screen grabs to support his claim, rather than quoting dialogue that can often be inaccurate. Doesn't really matter though, there will always be discrepancies between any two items.I think he is saying that the actual books he received were lighter than one he has previously owned. If it is only a little lighter, I won't mind.
Those are really close to accurate IMO, the small difference in lightness could be due to lighting, or other present factors.I did snap a picture. The copy I sent to the kids was darker than these, and these looked lighter to the eye than this picture may show.
Yeah I agree, from the photos I have seen that are well lit the book looks like a lighter shade of green. My book is a pretty light shade, and as far as I can tell is very close to being SA.The lighting can really change the appearance of a prop though.
For example, look at the HOPE button from season 2.

The indoor lighting makes it look primarily beige however when you see the prop outside, the button is primarily white.
Credit goes to SquidMan on pointing that example out to me earlier.
I wouldn't be surprised if the lighter book actually is what they used on the show.
