this is only unique to this mmpb of this particular novel by virtue of the final element, which is its catalog(ue) number

without this, no particular book is identified, let alone any specific edition.

Book
C. J. Cherryh - Regenesis
the sequel to ''cyteen'' (1988), q.v.

i believe "regenesis " would stand alone perfectly satisfactorily, but will need to re-re-re-read it to be certain to of this.

- you'd certainly miss a great deal of the political differences and rivalries within reseune, as well as those on cyteen outside that company, and of the various crises the death of ariane emory triggered - not to mention several of those that have been slowly arising from decisions taken during the company war by more than one powerful actor in the struggle for union's existence - and the almost accidental birth of the merchanter alliance.

''cyteen'' started a decade-long argument amongst quite a number of merkin sf fans who were labouring under the misapprehension that that major work was primarily - or even solely (!) - a ''whodunnit''. . .

refer to indicia publishing history to see if carcass of copy held was canadian-or merkin-printed,

and also to distinguish from undated° second (and possible further printings) by noting the progressive dropping of digits from printing number line:
first printing number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
second printing number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

° - other than statement of first printing publication date

Book
Paul Preuss - The Diamond Moon
two near-identical variants both identified as first printings in the indicia:
one definitely bears the printing history number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

the first with printing number line has the diagrams/plans section bound between pp. 155/156,
t'other between pp. 122/123;

these may be the near-identical canadian-carcassed and wholly merkin-printed variations, but this is currently uncertain.
