ISBN 026110330X is given on verso of title page, but this is the ISBN of the standard Trade Edition not the Deluxe Edition. It may be that this edition was not assigned a separate ISBN number because it was produced for Hatchard’s rather than for general sale.
Two other similar numbered, limited editions of 250 copies were issued by HarperCollins, probably for release in Australia and Canada. |
