I just called the printer and asked about this problem.

Allow me to explain that this book was first printed in 1992 under the ISBN
number 1881373029
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1881373029

In 1998 it was reprinted in Japan by a different publisher under ISBN
number 4906574009
http://www.amazon.com/dp/4906574009/

That is a Japanese ISBN Number.

There were no changes at all between the 1992 and the 1998 edition, except
for a slight difference in the cover.

Now, I have reprinted it under the original ISNB number with a picture of a
girl in her wedding dress on the cover.

I am sure and the printer agrees that if you order it under
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1881373029 you will get the right book, because
Amazon only has the new book. However, you must order it only from Amazon
direct because no other vendor has the book yet. If you order it from a
third-party vendor you will definitely get the old book.

I think you can safely order the new book at
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1881373029 If you get the old book, which should
be easy to tell because the cover is completely different, you can just
send it back and tell them that is the wrong book.

I hope this helps.
