First Blood

First Blood was a Literary Guild alternate selection in 1972 per Morrell's own bibliography, so a US book-club edition exists and copies turn up regularly. Club copies are identified in the usual way for the period — no price ever printed at the jacket flap and a blind-stamped device (small square or dot) on the rear board — and the club book is smaller and lighter in bulk than the trade book. No club-specific textual variant is documented.
