...Great review I'll have to add it to my list.<br /><br />We have the same problem down in Australia. I'm pretty sure the different art works can come around for a couple of reasons, either they're targeting a different demographic so they need a different cover, or sometimes it can be deemed obfensive or confusing to the public so they change. It's also the same with book and movie titles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677563505368503476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-81629091358687219542010-09-02T21:57:56.767+01:002010-09-02T21:57:56.767+01:00Bleach is extremely important:)
