Life: A User's Manual

No book-club issue is documented for the 1978 French first. Dealer cataloguing records a small hors-commerce printing on vergé blanc d'Arches outside the ordinary printing, but the copy count was not corroborated across sources; the ordinary-paper first printing remains defined by the 25 August 1978 achevé d'imprimer. Later French printings (10 October 1978 onward), the Harvill Panther paperback, and the Godine reissues are reprints — in English the 1987 sheets are the ones to seek.
