Kul extrabok till Guldkompassen-serien
Samma typ av bok som de tidigare utgivna; "Once upon a time in the north" och "Lyras oxford". Den här boken har dock inget extramaterial (t.ex. brev och kartor) så som de andra två, utan är bara text och illustrationer. Just den här utgåvan har ett avtagbart omslagspapper och under är det bara en enkel heltäckande färg (det var svart eller grönt) där endast titeln står i guld på framsidan. Alltså ingen text på ryggen heller. Så den ser ganska tråkig ut, utan sitt omslagspapper. Vad jag förstod det som så är det här en brittisk utgåva, vilket också är originalspråket.
