Hello Alex
Thanks for your help.
As to Why I asked...
MAROON
17,000 were printed
1) The book was released in Canada at the same time, without the price.
2) 10,000 went to book clubs, probably without the price.
If there are any with out price, but with book plates,
this would mean sloppy distribution/separation of those with and without,
Since those came straight from Tuckers company.
GREEN
The light green is a 1988 McMillan Book Club reprint,
the only way to tell is the cover color...

I have 1st ed (04854-1460), copy 1705. I believe all these (ISBN
0-525-93269-0) had $50.00 on the top right of the dust jacket. I also think
all copies had a bookplate, signed by both authors. If you ordered
beforehand (there was a publisher's flyer for the work) you could also have
'Authographed to' with your name inserted. Otherwise, this was left blank.
Along with this edition and press, the book was published at the same time
by Clarke, Irwin & Co in Canada (this is mentioned in the front matter of
the Dutton edition).

Subject: Compendium of Seashells - Maroon Cover Question
Hello
For a paper I am writing I'm taking a survey about the
Compendium of Seashells with Maroon Covers
I am looking to see what is more common out there.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Please e-mail your response back to me privately.
These questions only apply to the specific "1st" 1982 printing
as is labeled on the imprint page.
It is not applicable to the 1983 2nd printing.
Compendium of Seashells - Abbott & Dance
1982 1st Printing, 1st Edition EP Dutton
QUESTIONS:
1) Just inside the Dust Jacket,
Is there a price of $50.00 ?
2) Just inside the Front Cover,
Is there an autographed and numbered book plate?
Many thanks
