Yea was thinking it was the hardcover version of the one that Lily bought.. err decided not to pay for
Definitely nicer to have some form of art/content inside rather than blank pages. I'll either get the hardcover one or both depending.
The Skull belt buckle seems to be a promo for a lot of AC IV merchandise. I remember seeing it included in the McFarlane set of figures. (You need to buy a set of 4 or 5 figures)
