US versions

First edition

It really existed. Long gone now.

Second edition

Blue hardcover
Signed and unsigned copies that sold out very quickly.
Red hardcover
Signed and unsigned copies, a little easier to get ahold of.
Blue paperback
The most common version. The first printing included a blow-in card for Poe's album Haunted, and the pages tended to fall apart easily. With later printings, the cover art changed a few times, to include "National Bestseller" at the top front, and a red Poe ball on the back. It also added a page at the very front full of quotes from reviews.
Red paperback
The compass on the front cover is filled in red.
Full-color Remastered Edition
Now available in paperback and hardcover editions.  The intended parts are now in blue, red and purple.  The appendices include full color artwork.  There is a small hint of Only Revolutions as well.

Dutch
Het Kaartenhuis came out rapidly after the US edition. De Walvisteen Brieven took a bit longer, and seems to be out of print. The Dutch website is still available and can be found on the Links page.

Translator claro made good use of houseofleaves.com's and Exploration Z's knowledge for his version, La Maison des feuilles. There are two versions of Les Lettres de Pelafina, one the size similar to The Whalestoe Letters, the newer version a "pocket book" version. The French website was cancelled, but there was some preliminary work done for it. Some French multimedia exclusive to Exploration Z can be found here.
