Berlin Game

The Deighton Dossier records a Hutchinson first print run of 40,000 copies, so first editions are readily found and any copy described as rare should be treated sceptically. No specific book-club issue is documented in the sources consulted. The two live traps are the yellow-wrappered Hutchinson proof being conflated with the first edition, and UK book-club reprints, which run to the standard signals — no price printed at the jacket flap, lighter boards, and cheaper bulking paper.
