Book club editions are sometimes thinner and always taller (usually a quarter of an inch) than first editions. Book club editions are bound in cardboard, and first editions are bound in cloth (or have at least a cloth spine). 1958, London: Collins Crime Club, September 18, 1958, hardcover 1959, New York: Bantam #A-1961, August 1959, paperback 1960,
