Blue City

Critical trap: Knopf blind-stamps its own Borzoi colophon on the rear board of its trade printings, and this is routinely mistaken for a book-club blind stamp — the Borzoi device on the rear board is not evidence of a club printing. Genuine club printings are identified by the usual tells: no price present at the jacket flap, a blind stamp or small dot on the rear board, lighter bulk, and cheaper paper stock. No specific named book-club printing of Blue City was documented in the sources consulted.
