I have both the American (US) the British (UK) versions of
LABYRINTH: The Photo Album
. They are nearly identical, with only minor differences hardly worth mentioning. You can see from the images below the change in the Labyrinth logo, from
ALL BLOCK CAPS to fancy script.
Just a detail for nitpickers like me!
The most notable difference, aside from the alternate Labyrinth logo, is the type of paper used. The American edition is very glossy and the color very rich - much like a magazine's shiny pages. The English version is much duller and the colors a bit more bland in my opinion. Page 38, Jareth just before the ball - is very badly printed, almost like they overlayed the colors wrong. It's very blurred and looks pretty dreadful. The rest are extremely minor differences, starting with the logo. Instead of the all caps block letters of the US publication (as seen on the US videocassette box), the European Photo Album has the lower-case letters with the curly-cue "y" like the soundtrack. This difference is on both the front and back cover.
The US Photo Album has:
On the European, both of these are missing. Additionally,
£2.99 appear in the lower left hand corner with a modified Virgin logo just above. ( "V B" for "Virgin Books") The UPC code on the US is in the lower left corner but moves to the lower right hand corner for the UK book. Gone from the UK book are the credits

because this is where the British UPC code is.
On both the front and back cover, the little TM by the Labyrinth logo is in a circle on the UK edition.
On the title page of the US version:

is replaced by the standard Virgin logo, with no other words or images.
On page two the:
is replaced with a totally different font saying:
