I saw some of the book on Amazone and noticed some of them had a white cover (just like Rise of the Runelords). Is this an older printing? If i buy all 6 of them i'd like them all to have the same color..... :/
Thanks in advance
Each AP has a different cover colour, so white for Runelords, green for Kingmaker, and so on. Red I think was Curse of the Crimson Throne.
i understand, but why is the cover of the first part, on amazone, white?

Because that isn't the real cover (that's a picture of the big baddie from the first part of Rise of the Runelords). I expect Amazon took the placeholder art Paizo often use to advertise unissued products here (i.e. they slap down an existing picture of SOMETHING, but not the finished art as it often hasn't been completed at that time) and probably didn't bother to update it when the real thing came out. That emphatically is not the cover for the first part of Curse of the Crimson Throne.

thanks for the VERY fast reply!!!

Before Paizo has final cover art for their books, they put together a mock up version. Amazon often slacks on updating to the real cover art, once it's out.
Amazon has mock up covers for a lot of our products, especially since one of the reasons we make mock-up covers is because solicitations for the book trade (i.e., where Amazon gets their information) have to go out so long before the books are ready.
However, you can help! In the "Product Description" section of an Amazon product page, there should be a link labeled "Give feedback on images" or something similar. If you see an outdated mockup on Amazon, you can let them know through that link, and they'll update the product.

I'm surprised no one at Paizo has taken it upon themselves to do this already. However, since your post on Friday many AP covers have been updated to their multicolored goodness.
If anyone else sees a wrong cover on Amazon, keep in mind that if you simply report it as being incorrect they will just take down the image unless you also include a url where they can acquire the real version. They also seem less likely to update product pictures for products which are currently "out of stock".
