Hi, I have a question about Del-Rey's english releases of xxxHolic. I just recently got into buying the english releases, and I noticed that some of the newer volumes have colored pictures at the beginning of the volume. I was wondering if this is new? Or did the older volumes used to have colored pictures too and the second editions don't? And does Tsubasa have colored pictures at the beginning of any of its volumes?

Thank-you !

It should be that all of the first editions have color pages.

If you're curious what printing you have, check the page with all the fine print and copyright info. There should be a line of numbers like this:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

If it goes all the way to "1," that's the first printing. If it stops at 3, that's the third printing. And so on.

PS: When you buy your book isn't always the best indicator, because of returns. So if you want the color pages you can still get lucky depending on how inventory moves around, but it does get harder.
