Piper originally announced in their 2005 catalogue that they would be publishing the title with their imprint in August, but the stock that Piper took over from Heyne sold out much faster than they expected and they therefore had to issue is much earlier than planned. This, I am told, necessitated the allocation of a separate ISBN to the earlier issue, which is why that issue has a ‘later’ ISBN.
