Smaller hardbacks? I need some help!

Postby litup » Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:17 pm

Well I'm a little bit slightly stumped at the minute.

My beautiful charity shop was selling Pratchett 1st's for 2 quid a pop so soon happily cleared the shelves... However some of these hardbacks are smaller than the original sizing and have bar codes which start with eight 0's with a CN number above them on the back (i.e. Men at Arms is CN 6731). Alas anyone know anything about these?

Welcome litup. Do these have the UK or US covers? You might find a bit more information inside on the same page as the ISBN
One of those? Oh I'm sure I have one somewhere..

This edition published 1994
by BCA
by arrangement with Victor Gollancz
first reprint

(etc)

CN 6731

Printed and bound in Great Britain by
Mackays pf Chatham PLC, Chatham, Kent

Unfortunately Book Club editions have virtually no value on the second hand market unless they are the leather bound special Unseen University versions
