"First Edition" is stated on the copyright page with full number line "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0" and no book club blindstamp. Boards are brown ribbed paper with a blindstamped mesa design and brown cloth boards with gilt lettering. Note: the book club edition is identical to the true first edition and can also state "First Edition" with a full number line. But the book club edition has a small square or circle blindstamp on the bottom right corner of the back board near the spine. Also, the book club dust jacket is identical to the first edition jacket - including the $8.95 price. Photos courtesy of Dan Baranow.
