Notes on This Edition
304 pages, coffee table sized book (more than 10" x 12"), $59.99 print, $20.00 PDF. The book was initially made available at the BattleShop in August of 2009, but was quickly pulled when it was discovered that twelve of the images (of the so-called "unseen" or early edition Battletech mechs) were not properly licensed, and the images were removed.
