Old Man's War
John Scalzi · Tor Books / Tom Doherty Associates (New York) · 2005
Scalzi's own bibliography page records that the Science Fiction Book Club made Old Man's War a featured selection for Winter 2005 and that Barnes & Noble Explorations featured it in December 2005; the sources consulted do not confirm a separately printed SFBC edition with distinct measurements, so a club-edition claim should not be made without the copy in hand. Where a book-club copy is encountered, the usual tells apply: no price at the jacket flap, smaller trim and lighter bulk than the trade hardcover, and a blind-stamped mark to the rear board. Second and later Tor printings are identified by the missing 1 in the number line.
