Good news! Amazon.com’s listing for The Baby Name Wizard now includes a product picture that shows the pink dot: that is, it shows the updated 2009 version, rather than the original 2005 version.

This means it’s now completely safe to order—though as you can see, I took a screen shot first just to be sure: back when the revised version first came out, Amazon used that picture but then changed it when everyone started complaining bitterly about receiving the non-revised edition. It sure is hard to say to a customer service person that “it WAS the other picture BEFORE!!”

But anyway, if you were to order it now and receive the unrevised version, the purchase would fall under Amazon’s return policy: you’d get the price of the book and shipping refunded to you, as well as the cost of return shipping. But the fact that they’ve changed the photo makes it likely this wouldn’t be necessary. I might have to order a back-up for my replacement copy.

(Are you secretly hoping, as I am, that there will be another revision soon? Perhaps in 2013!)
