I'm looking at finally picking up a copy of the Spell Compendium and there seem to be two different covers available, but I can't seem to find a difference other than price. Those that have this cover (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170551490927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) pictured seem to be reliably less expensive than those with this cover (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Spell-Compendium-Book-D-D-3-5-NEW_W0QQitemZ250700199164QQcategoryZ378QQcmdZViewI temQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu% 3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D464 9628541835082932).

Is there a difference other than price?

One is an earlier printing than the other.

Not that I could reliably tell you which one.

This link is the second printing. The other one is first printing, hence the lower price (older book).

Thank you RelentlessImp.

Is there any difference in content?

I'm not sure about this, but I think that the later printing could have more recent spells.
