The first edition cover is all black with a picture of an OM1 and OM2 (the 2
is without lens).  The second edition cover has the top one third a light
grey colour with the rest being black.  The pictures of the OM1 and 2 are in
the top lighter area and the OM2 is shown fitted with a 250 back.

The second edition also states on the front cover "2. Edition"

Michael.
