The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth, and Other Stories

This is the central trap for Doubleday science fiction and the reason a stated "First Edition" settles nothing here: Science Fiction Book Club printings of Doubleday titles can RETAIN the "First Edition" statement on the copyright page. A book-club copy remains a book-club copy regardless of that statement. The tells are physical and on the jacket: a small blind-stamped square (or comparable blindstamp) at the lower right of the rear board; a jacket carrying no price at the flap but instead a five-digit book-club code, frequently black numerals in a white block; and smaller trim size, thinner paper, cheaper binding and a smaller, less legible typeface than the trade issue. Separately, Wikipedia records that two stories, "The Furies" and "The Graveyard Heart," were added in later printings for a total of seventeen — so a copy collating seventeen stories is not the 1971 first printing. That last point rests on a single pointer source and was not corroborated in a dealer bibliography or a Zelazny bibliography.
