Warning about Pro Silverlight 5 in C# Publishing Issue - NO COLOR

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Pro Silverlight 5 in C# is not printed in color. The cover has the full color inside advertisement, but the book I received today is only in black and white.

I am hoping this was a printer error because one of the things that made this book a really nice read was the color.  I have contacted the author and the publisher and will update this post as I receive feedback.

I am sure the content is still great, and I will follow up with a full review after I have had the chance to read it, but I wanted to get a warning out.

UPDATE
Looks like this version will be black and white. I must say I hope the printing process is improved because as it is the code in the book was made for color, and printed in grey scale makes it practically unreadable. I do want to say everyone involved was helpful.  Apress gave me an ebook version and Amazon sent a second book thinking the first one was just a mistake.

From Apress:
We're very sorry about this; what you saw - and experienced - is the result of a mistake on our part, pure and simple. The print version of the book is grayscale, while the eBook version is in full color. If the grayscale version is not suitable for your needs, we recommend you seek a refund from the vendor who sold you the book. We have begun the process of altering the cover for a new print run, and changing the preview images available at sites such as amazon.com.
