Which country is releasing the best version of The Corpse Bride? I was browsing CD-Wow and noticed they are selling a version that comes with a book. Would this be the best edition to get?

there's a giftset from the UK.that's what iam gonna get.

Region 3 has a very nice release as well called:

Corpse Bride: Deluxe Edition (With Book)

Isn't this the same thing that Wal*Mart is selling [fancy cover + book]?

Sounds like it is. I bought the Wal-Mart edition. Has the book and a rather flimsy slipcover with lenticular front. No set of film stills like the UK edition though.
