Creepshow

Stephen King (art by Bernie Wrightson) · New American Library / Plume, New York · 1982

The book-club edition is well documented and easy to spot: it is marked 'BOOK CLUB EDITION 5200' at the lower left of the back cover, carries no price on the back cover or spine, and lacks the 'First Printing, July, 1982' statement on the copyright page — while retaining a complete number line, which is why the number line alone must never be used to call a first. Later trade printings are the other trap: same cover, but the July 1982 statement is gone.
