The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story

Richard Preston · Random House · 1994

Per Random House practice of the period, the first printing carries the 'First Edition' statement and a number line that does NOT descend to 1 (the lowest digit is 2). A copy whose line runs to 1, or that lacks the 'First Edition' statement, is a later printing or club issue. Book-club copies also lack the priced trade jacket.
