  • Notes:
    • 2017-03-31 This is a placeholder record based on amazon.ca for ISBN 0-812-53356-9. There were several publications with US/53355-0 ★ $3.95
      CAN/53356-9 ★ $4.95 on the front cover. They are barcoded 0-812-53355-0 on the back cover meaning the primary-verified publications all have been entered under 0-812-53355-0. At present the 8, 11, and 12th printings have been primary-verified.
    • Amazon.com for ISBN 0812533569 returns a 404 not-found error. Amazon.ca for ISBN 0-812-53356-9 is for "Enders Game-Can" by Tor Mm (Author) published by Tor Books (M/M) (Nov. 15 1987). That looks like an automated data upload that a human has never cleaned up. Abebooks, bookfinder.com, eBay, Goodreads, and WorldCat all report zero hits for ISBN 0-812-53356-9. This may be because the publications have "CAN/53356-9" and not "0-812-53356-9" on the front cover and are barcoded 0-812-53355-0 on the back cover.
    • While amazon.ca reports a date of Nov. 15 1987 amazon.ca for ISBN 0-812-53355-0 reports Nov. 22 1987. It's not clear why the dates are not the same other than perhaps the book went on sale in Canada a week earlier than the USA. November 1987 is likely the true printing date for the first of the series of printings with ISBNs 0-812-53355-0 / 0-812-53356-9 and priced at US $3.95 / CAN $4.95.
    • Amazon.com reports a date of January 1, 1986 for ISBN 0-812-53355-0. This may be someone misinterpreting the stated "First Tor mass market printing: January 1986" statement with a later printing number line as being the date of the printing. Tor's first printing with a "0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" number line was ISBN 0-812-53253-8 at $3.50 published in January 1986.
