Default identifying 1st edition

I just picked up a fine/fine Colleen McCullough Caesar's Women. The verso
says first edition & printers code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. All fine & good so
far. But, the dust jacket has no price - not clipped, just no price? Could
someone look inside their known 1st & tell me if William Morrow put a price
in the dust cover of this 1st edition?

TIA

Sounds like a book club edition. BCEs use the same plates to print the
book, so the copyright page looks the same. Check the back of the book
at the bottom of the spine for a calaphon or some sort of impression.

No colophon, no blindstamp/mark in book or on dust jacket of any sort. The
lack of a price on the dust jacket & my instincts tell me this is not a
1st. but the book weight & paper doesn't seem right for a book club edition
either??
