- Notes:
• Book Club Edition based on lack of price on dustjacket • Likely a BOMC edition but lacks the statement usually found on the copyright page but does have the BOMC blind stamp on the back board • No statement of edition or printing. • The copyright page contains the complete Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data including the year of publication (1988), the ISBNs of the trade edition (0-394-54703-9) and the limited edition (0-394-57109-6), and the LCCN. • The year of publication on the title page is given in brackets, the dustjacket retains the code 6/88 on the inside rear flap. • "Jacket illustration and design by Wendell Minor" printed on the back flap of the dustjacket. • P1 Verification copy has "Lethbridge [CDN city in Alberta] Dec. '88" on the endpapers so published/offered before that • "Manufactured in the USA" but possibly printed in Canada from the US Knopf plates which may explain the missing BOMC statement
