The Other

Book-club copies are identified by a small blind-stamped dot to the rear board and a dust jacket with no price at the flap; one dealer records the August 1971 fifth printing having been used as the book-club issue. Because the club jacket carries the same Paul Bacon artwork, the rear-board dot and the unpriced flap are the tells — together with the absence of the "FIRST EDITION" statement on the copyright page.
