"First published in Great Britain in 2000" is stated on the copyright page toward the top, and "First Edition" is stated near the bottom. The boards are illustrated to match the dust jacket. A portion of the first edition was printed by Omnia, and the rest was printed by Clays. There is no priority of printers, however there seems to be less Omnia editions in the market.
