Although it is not actually stated that this is a Book Club Associates Edition, it was only available from BCA outlets. It appears to be pages of the standard hardback edition bound as a paperback.
* ISBN 0261102427 (the ISBN of the HarperCollins Hardback Edition) appears on the verso of the title page but not on the wrappers.
The copy seen was a 3rd Impression.
This BCA paperback can be distinguished from the HarperCollins trade paperback by the fact that the BCA edition is 21.5cm high whereas the HarperCollins paperback is 19.7cm high. Also the "corona" at the peak of the mountain is truncated on the BCA edition and no barcode appears on the lower cover. |
