Desperation; BCE or Something Else
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 11:37 am
I've had a copy of this book since it was first published (or shortly after that) in 1996. I don't remember where I got it, although I do know that it was new when I got it. But my question is, what edition is it?
The info/number line on the copyright page is identical to what a first edition should be, but there are two differences with the book/dust jacket that make me think it might be a BCE. First, there is no price printed on the front inside flap of the dust jacket. But the code "0996" is there. Secondly, the paste-downs in the front and rear of the book are white/off-white instead of red.
So other than the lack of a price on the dust jacket and different color paste-downs, everything else indicates a first edition.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!
