The Thousandfold Thought / TTT - First US Overlook Edition
« on: July 26, 2023, 06:13:18 am »
Hi everyone

I hope someone is still around here to answer my question - don't worry, it's not about where R. Scott Bakker is and when a new book is coming out. :-)

I'm planning to revisit all the books, and as a sort of ritual I was looking at all my US Overlook Hardback first editions. I'm pretty sure I sought out and purchased all the true first editions back in the day. I might (probably) have forgotten about an oddity amongst all of them, namely TTT.

All of them actively mentioned First Edition, except for TTT. Can someone confirm this for me? I'll add a (shitty, but serviceable) picture of the publisher page, to double check. If this one might have slipped through the cracks, could someone upload the publisher page of the first true edition US Overlook so I can look for the right one?

General Earwa / First Editions of the Second Apocalypse Books
« on: August 28, 2014, 09:33:38 pm »
Hi everyone

I have been reading the Second Apocalypse books for quite a while now (probably some of the only books I've read more than once), and now I'm looking to buy the original (first edition) hard cover versions of the books to showcase and remind me of their brilliance every time I pass them.

Problem is, I can't get any straight answer from browsing through abebooks.com. So my question is, if anyone here knows the actual true first editions.

Here are some problems I'm dealing with:

- I'm pretty sure that the first editions are Canadian, but the information on them is very sparse (sometimes no hard cover in existance, etc.). Usually you get the American edition marked as the first edition. So that's confusing.

- With some books, you also have a unedited version of the original transcript for sale (they look pretty legit). I'm wondering what the big differences are (if any), and if that is considered a true first edition.

Anybody who can help me out? I'd appreciate it a lot!

Thanks
