Colonel Sun

Robert Markham (Kingsley Amis) · Jonathan Cape (London) · 1968

No specific named book-club printing was documented in the sources consulted. The practical risk on this title is later impressions rather than club copies: the novel sold very heavily in Britain — reportedly more than 500,000 copies worldwide by 1980 — so later Cape impressions are common and are identified by the impression notice added to the copyright page, which must be checked. Generic club tells otherwise apply: no price present at the jacket flap, blind stamp or dot to the rear board, lighter bulk.
