O/T Scrawny to Brawny - JP Fitness Forums

Does anyone know the difference between the version linked in JP's bookstore and this version? http://www.amazon.com/Scrawny-Brawny...e=UTF8&s=books

I suspect it's only a difference in cover photo, but I never seen this new one until today. I also noticed it's listed at a higher price. I've noticed these two versions have different reader feedback. This version has some pretty negative feedback listed for it. El Hewie is back at his nonsense while reviewing this book.

By the way I have to version which is listed in JP's bookstore and think it's a pretty darn good book.

Bump.

Different print runs, I think. The newer one has some typos corrected.

Does that make the older one a collectors item?

There were a number of print errors and questions arose with those of us who did the program when it first came out. We even had a forum to post those questions. It's still on this site. This version may be the update of the first.

As for the difference in customer reviews, if you notice on the one that has a higher overall raiting there was a huge influx of very positive reviews in a very short period of time, mostly on November 30th. A few of the other reviews suggest why that might be the case. I can only assume that the newer edition deserves an equal amount of awesome reviews to offset the haters.

I have the older version. What sort of errors are you refering to? Workout or nutrition section? I've seen the S2B forum here and would have posted this question there except for the fact that the forum appears to be completely dead.

I heard about that both here and from reading the reviews on Amazon.com. That all must have happend long before I came along. I wasn't aware of it until recently.
