Noctuary
Thomas Ligotti · Robinson Publishing, London · 1994
No book-club edition of either 1994 issue is documented. The reliable later-state tell on the American issue is the number line: a first printing runs 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1, and any broken line is a subsequent printing. Later hardcover reprints of the collection from other imprints are reprints, not firsts, and the text has since been reissued in paperback under other imprints — none of which are first editions.
