Dictionary of the Khazars

The combined first printing of the Knopf male and female editions is recorded at 40,000 copies, so a book-club issue is not the usual trap here. The usual trap is the Vintage International paperback (ISBN 0-679-72461-3), which carries the same male/female split and is routinely offered as a 'first edition'. The later 'androgynous' (androgino) edition, which prints both versions together in one volume, is a first thus and cannot substitute for either the 1984 or the 1988 paired variants.
