Doomsday Book (Connie Willis), 1st Edition or BCE?
Hello Folks -
Yes, I did do a search on this newgroup for any discussions related to this book, and I found one that mentions that the 1st Edition has a price listed in the book, whereas the book club edition does not. And if I go just by that, then I can say my copy is a BCE. HOWEVER, two people also mentioned that the BCE is an inch shorter than the real 1st Edition. But I measured my book, and it is the same size as the supposed 'real' 1st Edition. So now I'm still unsure of what I have. Is it possible that there was yet another edition of the book printed out there that nobody is aware of? Or, is there any other way to confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt that the book is in fact a BCE or not? Of course this makes a huge difference to the value of the book, so I want to be sure one way or the other. Thanks a lot for any help you can give... TIM |

Doomsday Book (Connie Willis), 1st Edition or BCE?
My copy has the $22 price on the dust jacket flap, and a number line
on the copyright page that includes "1". If yours doesn't have these, it's most likely not a first edition. (There are other book club markers some other poster may know better...) |
