As I mentioned before, I'm getting back into SR after a long absence. Picked up the Anniversary additions (which I presume is what SR4a refers to) at GenCon, planning on using this ruleset. One of the players-to-be has a copy of a SR 4th Edition book, from Catalyst, but a different edition. Rules seem the same, but the flavor text (vignets) and art is different. I presume this is the plain SR4 book?

Are there any differences between the two other than the flavor text and artwork? Are the rules and the setting info the same?
