I have recently received two books exactly the same - however, advertised as being different by the front cover.
The exact same contents page for page on this item is duplicated in Line and wash - same artist with Tuscan farmhouse and sunflower seeds on cover.
Please be aware that if you are purchasing from overseas the 30 day return policy could be futile.
