I bought most of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time hardcover. I already had some of them. The ones I got from Amazon are different. No embossing on the front cover. Side fonts vary (though to be fair, even the others that I already had do a bit of this).

They all have the original art and say first edition, but I'm skeptical and wouldn't be surprised if they are bootlegs. At least I'm not collecting them expecting them to be worth a lot and a "fake" book is still readable.
