I'm confused here. Trotter, your original thread talks about TB, but the scan you posted is labelled (i.e. your file name) FGoH. What was, TB or FGoH? I appear to have bought a copy of TB as the thread was running, which I have no memory of....

BH

Yes, it looks like I made a mistake 9 years ago, the photo is from my copy of TB, but I also have a FGoH with a blue A&U sticker, so a possible excuse, but not a very good one

I am not that surprised that you got a copy of TB while the thread was on-going, I reopened the thread 3 years later.

Anyone seen a price sticker like this before? 'Crown Price'...? (It's on a 5th trade printing.)

That's a "Crown Books" price sticker, they were a discount chain of bookstores in the USA from 1977-2001.

Thank you! What would you think would be the significance to it stating “publisher’s price” on the sticker?

Similar to what Amazon does with their discounted pricing on their books.



The Crown sticker has "10.95" at the top and that's the "publisher's price", and then the Crown Books discounted price is $7.12 (35% off).

I think the 1095 above “publisher’s price” is the publisher’s price ?
