Elric of Melniboné

No book-club printing of the Hutchinson edition is documented in the sources consulted. The practical reprint tells are imprint and cover art: the Lancer "Dreaming City" wrapper, Whelan art (DAW 1976 onward) or Gould art (Blue Star 1977 and its descendants) each mark a non-first issue. The Blue Star 1977 is a limited edition and reads as important, but it is a "first thus" — first American hardcover and first US printing of the full text in cloth — not the first edition.
