Hi Bakerton

Best thing to do is open a free account at something like imgshack and then upload your photos to there.  You can then post the forum code link which will show the full size photo within your post

The one on the left is the dust jacket from the red copy

I think that it is what I mentioned before - that the red one is a professionally rebound edition, perhaps of a library version of Legend that had too much spine lean.

Check the binding (look from top down) at the spine and also look at the dust jacket - it looks in spanking condition, is it a colour photocopy?

Check the pages in both editions are any in the red edition missing or not discoloured (ie added later to make up a page that may have had stamps etc)

If the dust jacket on the red is not a photocopy, I would swap them so you had a lovely wrapped 1st.

Still very jealous!

I know little about Gemmell's editions, but how much are those two worth?
