20th Century Ghosts
Joe Hill · PS Publishing, Hornsea (UK) · 2005
No book-club edition is documented for the PS issue, which was a small-press, pre-order release. The reprint trap runs in the opposite direction from the usual: the widely available 2007 Morrow trade hardcover and its later printings are commonly offered as simply 'first edition' because they are the first edition in the US, and buyers read that as the true first. Morrow first printings are identified by a complete number line with 1 present. A US Morrow advance reading copy in wrappers also exists and is not the first edition of anything. Any copy without a printed PS limitation statement and hand-number is not one of the two 2005 hardcover states.
