read and double-check the indica publishing history printing history and compare the tale of impressions, printings/reprints and new editions with the printing number-line, where there is one, which applies to the edition listed most immediately above the number line.
the cover image provided does not appear to be of the first 1999 p/b, nor of the 2000 second impression, nor of the undated fifth printing by number-line; which are all much less brown and from which the same chris moore art on this cover has been reversed left-right.
