The First-Edition Hardcover Myst Books (and a bonus!)

Was inspired to post this due to some of the comments on my last post, so here we go!

Here you'll see first-edition hardcovers of The Books of Atrus, Ti'Ana, and D'Ni, with a nice little bonus (third pic). I have not been able to secure copies of the other two "boni," as they are extremely rare from what I hear.

I did not realize until other people pointed it out, but it appears The Book of Atrus has more ornamentation on the cover (it wraps to the side and around to the back, resembling brass hinges), in addition to the red page numbers, headers, and chapter numbers. I should have known not to have kept my books unchecked for so long!

However, Ti'Ana and D'Ni have fancier, almost "marble-like" pages. The FE mass-market paperback book is my original copy of Book of Atrus, and it and the Omnibus edition have normal-looking text with no real ornamentation, but the paperback BoA has a cut-out where you see the crest, so you're actually viewing the full-color page behind it.

So, my friends, "What do you see, Reddit?" Also, what WILL we see in the upcoming editions? I really like the Book of Atrus styling... :)
