| Notes | This is a hardcover, with dust jacket, with a copyright date of 2015. On the copyright page is a printing scale- 19 18 17 16 15 1 2 3 4 5. No edition is stated. I bought this copy around when it was released in 2015, so it might be a first edition. I also have another copy which is a later edition that doesn't have a dust jacket. It has the images from the dust jacket as part of the cover of the book. It is a hardcover as well. |
