The Elementals

Michael McDowell · Avon Books, New York · 1981

No book-club edition is documented for this title — mass-market paperback originals of this kind were not book-club vehicles. The states to watch are later Avon printings, which are distinguished by their copyright-page printing statement, and the modern revivals (Valancourt 2014 trade paperback, Centipede Press 2020 hardcover), which are 'first thus' and are the copies most often mistaken for a first by sellers because they are the only hardcover.
