 | The book club book is difficult to distinguish from the true first. It will sometimes have a book club blind stamp on the back, and will sometimes have printing in the gutter of the second-from-last page. |
 | Even when clipped, it is often obvious when a dust jacket is from a book club edition because the true first dust jacket also has the SBN underneath the price. |
 | The book club dust jacket does not have "7501" on the bottom of the front flap. |
