Are there two memoir of a geisha books?

Question

i saw a 12$ one and a 8$ one with different covers. are they different?

Answer 1

They shouldn't be.  One's probably the paperback and the other the hardcover.  You might also come across editions from the U.K. with different covers.

However, you might want to be careful about any edition that says "movie tie-in."  It might be the exact same text with interviews or other stuff related to the movie, or a different Introduction, but I don't know.

Answer 2

They're the same book probably, the 12$ one probably indicates the newer edition book or a hardback :)
