The Charm School

Guild Publishing (London) is the documented UK book-club issue; US club issues (Literary Guild / Doubleday clubs) also circulate. Tells: no 'First Printing: April 1988' statement and no number line on the copyright page, a blind-stamped colophon (dot, square, circle or triangle) impressed into the rear board near the spine, no price at the jacket flap, no barcode on the jacket rear, smaller trim size and lower-bulk paper.
