"Da Vinci Code" -- BCE or not?
Hi everyone. I have a copy of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code". The
copyright page states FIRST EDITION, APRIL 2003, and has the full numberline, just like the true first printing should. It also has both well-known first printing mistakes ("skitoma" and "Lyon"). But here's the weird part. The book is smaller in size and the dust jacket has no price -- both of which would suggest BCE, although the the jacket doesn't *say* BCE, nor is there any indent on the back board. Opinions? Does anyone positively know whether this is a BCE or whether it's not? Thanks! |

Most of the BCEs I've heard of have the number line, etc. Dick Stephens |

BOMC stopped putting the "Book club edition" statement on the dustjacket maybe 20-some years ago, and they also stopped blind-stamping several years back. -- Jon Meyers (To reply, lose your way) |
