Sandkings

The sole hardcover is the Timescape/SFBC book-club edition, which followed the paperback (early 1982, printing code M02 on page 207 and a gutter code on the jacket) and, though bound in boards with a dust jacket, is a book-club issue rather than the first edition. Book-club and later printings reprint the text but are not the true first; the paperback original with the full '10... 1' number line is the first.
