So I recently noticed that my Shadowrun (and Battletech) Physical books collection virtually stopped with FASA, I had one FanPro book. So I bought some secondhand books and came across something odd:

Shadows of North America (FanPro 10655) looks like a first printing (2002)
Shadows of North America (FanPro 25015) looks like a second printing (2004)

Is there any difference content wise between the two books? I now have both, and my bookcases are already filled to capacity, so I only need one (unless there's a difference between them). I see that FanPro did that with a lot of reprints, do any of the reprints have any different content?

Came across a couple of Shadowrun product lists:
http://everything2.com/title/Shadowrun
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/shadowrun/fasa.html
http://wapedia.mobi/en/List_of_Shadowrun_books
http://index.rpg.net/display-search.phtml?...value=Shadowrun

For some strange reason I couldn't find one on Dumpshock.

I am not aware of Shadows of North America being marketed as separate versions. (Stupid IT help desk comment though, make sure you're matching the right titles, as there's Shadows of North America, Target: UCAS, and Neo-Anarchists Guide to North America, each of which is different)

The only different content I have notice (other than Rigger 3 vs Rigger 3 revised) is the later printings include errata.

It was just a reprint with a new stock number. FanPro GmbH changed their stock numbering scheme and asked FanPro LLC to do so at the same time.
