Uh ...Which is which ? ( Just received today a Red edition myself from H&S )
ReplyDeleteLook on the copyright page (like the pic). If there's a "1" there, it's a first.
ReplyDeleteShould have kept my big mouth shut...
ReplyDeleteThat is TERRIBLE to hear! I was so looking forward to returning to work tomorrow in hopes that my book might arrive from Amazon UK. Now after reading this, I'm half dreading it! Are all the copies from Amazon 2nds? Oh man. I'll be crushed to tear open that package and find a 2nd. What a gyp! Obviously it's not guaranteed, but you pre-order from Amazon and you expect a first! Especially for an author with as typically large a print run as Deaver. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteWH Smiths Holborn(London) Branch has a display of the book, all at half price and all with 1 on the copyright page. (I counted 12 in the display at 11am this morning 31st May)
ReplyDeleteMy copy arrived in my U.S. mailbox today from Amazon UK. Pre-ordered some while back. 2nd edition. Disappointed. I shall not allow that to color my reading experience.
