The Mists of Avalon

A book-club issue is recorded and is the standard trap: it is noticeably smaller in dimension and lighter in bulk than the Knopf trade printing and comes in a jacket without price at the flap. The other frequent trap is a Knopf-imprint copy dated 1983 on the title page — those are later trade printings of the same setting, not firsts, and the copyright-page printing notice will say so.
