I order a Deluxe from a Market Place Seller and received a standard edition. The Deluxe has a thumb index and comes in a hard shell slipcase which protects the book. The seller I purchased from sent a nnth edition book that had neither; not even a dust jacket and they advertised it as the deluxe and showed the picture of the Deluxe which would be obviously different from the standard, especially noticable by a librarian and book seller. I find it hard to believe it was an accident. The book itself was in good condition, though they were too busy to remove their stickers and labels. They were willing to refund the price and shipping but expected me to send a $100.00 book through the mail without delivery confirmation which I forgot to request in my email to them; but I thought that if they honest they would have offered to pay for the confirmation since that's how they sent it to me. If you are looking for a good law dictionary, this is the one; the hard back ninth.
