paperbound edition by The Viking Press, Inc., 625 Madison Avenue" with
no statements of subsequent printings. Hardbound boards are orange
with red letters on spine. The dust jacket carries price of $15.00 on
the upper front flap and "0273" on the lower front flap. Back of dust
jacket has ISBN 670-34832-5 in white. Hardbound copies are preferable

The book club edition looks similar to the first hardbound edition,
but it lacks a price on the dust jacket, and there is a blind stamp on
the back board near the spine.
