    Differences in the ARC and the official release

    I wanted to put this in the ARC forum, but the excessive Stickies are annoying me, so this is going here until nikhsub1 moves it.

    Edit: Erm... the ARC forum no longer exists... so... here we are.

    First things I have noticed, at the beginnings of the book:

    The yellow and green bookmarks (amazing) and the green and yellow endcloths from the binding (very cool)...

    ARC:
    no concordances

    Hardcover:
    concordances


    ARC:
    Copyright page for both Sam and Hailey:
    "Only Revolutions
    The Democracy Of Two
    Set Out & Chronologically Arranged

    [etc]

    [etc]"

    Sam's TriColor: 355U, 7405U, 2602U
    Hailey's TriColor: 146U, 355U, 2602U

    And neither say anything about the concordance

    Sam's "Fonts by order of arrival:" Life, Dante MT, Lucida, Perpetua, Tempo, Myriad Pro, Spectrum MT & Univers 57
    Hailey's "Fonts by order of arrival:" Life, Dante MT, Lucida, Perpetua, Tempo, Myriad Pro, Spectrum MT & Univers 57

    Nothing about Jessica Grindstaff.

    Hardcover:
    Copyright page on both sides:
    "Only Revolutions
    The Democracy Of Two
    Set Out & Chronologically Arranged

    This is a work of fiction. Though some characters, actions,
    and exchanges align with historical events, the totality
    of the novel-from mechanism to motion to mood-
    is a product of the author's imagination."

    then some normal copyright stuff with in grey.

    then

    Sam's TriColor: 356U, 146U, 2602U
    Hailey's TriColor: 146U, 356U, 2602U

    Both sides say "B/W Double Volumes without Concordance"

    Sam's "Fonts by order of arrival:" Life (Endpapers), Dante MT (Title), Lucida (inf), Perpetua (dedication), Tempo (Dates), Myriad Pro (Chronomosaics), Spectrum MT (Sam) & Univers 57 (Folio)
    Hailey's "Fonts by order of arrival:" Life (Endpapers), Dante MT (Title), Lucida (inf), Perpetua (Dedication), Tempo (Dates), Myriad Pro (Chronomosaics), Spectrum MT (Hailey) & Univers 57 (Folio)

    Mentions of Jessica Grindstaff.

    "Expiration date: Now" is upside down, with the opposite character's colors. (upside down and yellow 'o's on Sam's side)

    There are also color things that are very interesting, but I will not really consider these "differences" because the ARCs are B&W.

    H4 (ARC): The Mountain descends from and

    H4 (Hardcover): The Mountain descends from

    H8 (ARC) : -- Clumzy. Clutzoid ! He haws.

    H8 (ARC) : My serenity wipes out his
    gall.
    H8 (Hardcover) : My serenity wipes out
    his gall.

    Just notice that most of the differences are in the historical sidebar (got them from H1 to H10) and are about ponctuation or disposition of some words in the column. Except :
    H7 (ARC) : FBI & Oswald allone
    H7(Hardcover) : Oswald allone & FBI.

    In order to go faster, I thing I'm gonna stop to compare the historical matter. Just focus on the main text.
    Stay tuned.

    I was wondering about that... Thanks, hello?.
    ... I speak of the city built by the dead, inhabited by their stern ghosts, ruled by their despotic memory,
    the city I talk to when I talk to nobody, the city that dictates these insomniac words...
