On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
Harold McGee · Charles Scribner's Sons (New York) · 1984
No book-club issue is documented for the 1984 Scribner's hardcover. The routine mislisting is the 1997 Fireside/Scribner trade paperback reissue (ISBN 0-684-80001-2), which carries the 1984 text and is frequently offered as a "first edition" — it is a later-format reprint, not a first. Any hardcover whose number row lacks the "1" is a Scribner's later printing regardless of the 1984 title-page date.
