ppint. 24th Sep 2020		@JimEss don't over-sell my merkin sfbc knowledge - it (the us club) went through phases where what it was doing was more-or-less simple, more - or less - clear, more or less clearly signalled (usually by dropping the ''first edition'' from the indica of the doubleday first edition h/cvr (where doing an sfbc edition of a doubleday-originated title) and varying the printer's date code in the gutter of a page near the end of the book - which iiuc it did for every reprint, whether book club edition or no) - drawing a clear distinction between using its own ''nelson doubleday'' or similar imprint and using the originating publisher's imprint on its club editions, signifying yr-hmbl-srppnt.-knows-not-what; and then bantam doubleday dell (by then) sold off their science fiction bookclub... - at which point i stopped even trying to keep track of their changes, and just relied upon locus's listings of books received. - various doubleday & doubleday sfbc editors & ex-editors kept records over the decades, and have published some of the information they archived privately; i don't know whether the printer's/publisher's date code system's ever been explained in full - and people wonder why... - _not__all_* bibliographers go mad.° (° - nor start off that way) (?)



JimEss SUBS 23rd Sep 2020		@ppint, yes you're correct. I'll have this one changed to August. Now that I know you're confident dating sfbc books, I'll haul out some of my older ones, lol.
