The First Edition and the Book Club Edition are often confused, as they both have a stated "First Edition,' and are substantially the same book. Both are bound in identical covers; however, the First has an orange topstain while the BCE's are uncoloured. The dustjackets are different, and this one is priced while the other is not. Both are quite attractive books, and Loederer's artwork is spectacular. The corners here are mildly bumped, and with a slight lean.There is a tiny bookseller label on the front paste-dowm.
