This edition will precede the NCL reissue of Anne of Green Gables, due out in late January 2008.

Here are the covers for both the current edition and the new one. Their NCL edition of Emily of New Moon (with an afterword by Alice Munro, first published in 1989) will likewise be reissued, in late 2007, but the new cover is not yet available.
