FIRST EDITION is stated on copyright page with no references to subsequent printings. Bound in light beige cloth with copper lettering on the spine. Back of dust jacket has two reviews. A price change was presumably made by the publisher before the book was distributed. The orginal price was supposed to be $14.95, but the front flaps of all copies we have seen are clipped at the corner and have round price stickers (or sticker remains) near the clip. The ISBN (0-912946-82-2) is on the bottom of the front flap.
