We aren’t really sure what sparked the color change, but now we have a glimpse of what a limited edition of Twilight in the UK is going to look like:
It’s not the first time the Brits have done their own thing with the book covers. You can see the original UK covers of New Moon and Twilight below. By the time Eclipse rolled around they decided to go with the the US edition cover.
According to The Bookseller: “The four limited-edition titles: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, will be published by Atom on 14th October as £7.99 paperbacks, available only in the UK and Ireland, and Little, Brown’s territories including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India. The white editions will not be available in the US.
The white titles will only be published between October and Christmas 2010, replacing the usual black jackets. The titles will have crimson-edged pages and crimson back covers, with text confined to the spines.”
There is no listing as of yet on Amazon UK, but generally speaking you can get UK published items sent to other parts of the world as long as you are willing to pay the shipping. EDITED: Search on Amazon UK for “Twilight Paperback, New Moon paperback” etc and you can preorder http://wp.me/pZlGB-5bv Total cost for all four white version to USA is £39.91 which is roughly $63.00 at current conversion rates. That does not include shipping.
Ohhhhhhhh I want!
I want these. They look beautiful. I hope Amazon UK ships to the US and its not to spendy.

OMG, WANT!
play.com has got them for £4.99 and free delivery for UK. Not really sure if they ship to US. But worth to have a look
I was tempted by the play.com price but I already have the hardbacks, paperbacks and ebooks on my Sony reader. I watch the movies and buy the Blurays. Me and my wife have a 50X40 inch framed photo in our lounge and other various memorabilia. I think another set of “Special Edition” books is just a little bit too much like trying to ring the last penny out of the fans.
The books are still in plays top ten books though.

play.com does NOT ship to us.
The Book Depository is a UK online bookshop that has free world wide delivery and is often cheaper than Amazon too. I’ve blogged about these on Juxtabook and the Book Depository links are all there. Or here’s one -you can search for the others once there: http://bit.ly/TwilightatTheBookDepository
