House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City)

No book-club edition is documented. The traps, in order of how often they mislead: (a) subscription-box and retailer-exclusive editions — the Fairyloot Crescent City exclusives, with redesigned jackets, foiled boards with character art, illustrated endpapers, foil-detailed slipcase and digitally sprayed fore-edges, did not ship until roughly March–April 2023, three years after publication, and the Illumicrate and other exclusives are likewise later; sprayed edges are therefore positive evidence AGAINST a 2020 first printing. (b) The Bloomsbury paperback of 2021. (c) Later adult-market reissues under fresh ISBNs (e.g. 978-1-5266-6355-9). (d) Ordinary later 2020 impressions, identical but for the missing 1 on the number line.
