Texas

The strongest tell on this title: the book-club issue of Texas is a TWO-VOLUME set, whereas the Random House trade first is one thick single volume — any two-volume Random House "Texas" in jackets is the club issue, not the first (the two-volume University of Texas Press set is quarter leather in a slipcase and is a separate, later limited edition). Other standard club tells: no price at the jacket flap (often "Book Club Edition" printed there), a blind stamp or colored deboss at the lower rear board, and smaller trim with lighter, bulkier paper.
