Rose Madder First Edition Question

I have 2 Rose Madder Books, both with the same IBSN.
One has a red design inside, one has silver.
The one with the red design states it was printed by Quebecor Printing Fairfield.
The silver spine writing has printed by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company.

Both come up as a first edition, first print. Google says the R.R. Donnelley one is the official original. But I cant find any others like the silver spine writing one. The Silver spine one also has no price on the dust jacket nor a raised cover.
Thoughts?

Not sure what you have there. Here is a link to what the First Edition should have:

If you've got no price on the DJ that's a clear giveaway it's a book club (BC) edition. Book clubs can often be pretty similar to first editions and don't necessarily specify it anywhere, or have a different ISBN but they will always be missing a price on the DJ.
