    Hmm... I don't know whether to continue to keep track of proof DJ's in the list. Now that I see these photos from Sir_Boomme, I think it could become unwieldy trying to keep track of them all. Although I do like that they're documented here... I'm open to advice on that front... I never even knew about many of those proof DJ's...

    Great idea for a thread. Positive rep coming your way.

    I suggest that the list be divided into separate categories, so that the various different variants can be grouped together for ease of reference. e.g. US 1sts, US proofs, Uk 1sts, UK proofs, etc., even BCE variants like the larger shoe on the spine of Cell.

    Perhaps we could also add links to the catalog in addition to the various thread links. The catalog often has information about the variants.
    Thanks! Looks like I've given myself a new job here. Makes sense what you're saying. I'll make some updates to the list.
    Okay, I found the inspiration and have now re-organized the list. Also included links to the catalog where applicable. And for now, I've included the proof DJ's. I'm sure the list will continue to evolve...Now I'm going to rest...

    Happened to come across this. Never seen that before, and could possibly be a misprint per Michaël's comment lower down.

    The Bachman Books. That link takes me directly to post #583.

    Here's a dust jacket error (I don't know what else to call it) for The Bachman Books. It's missing the color completely:

    I was browsing Steve's collection thread, and came across this post from Bill. Picture copied below.



    Is it just me, or is that gold lettering?

    These are the two states I know of (red and grey):



    Any idea on this?

    There also this one on liljas site. Could be a proof jacket though.

    Yes, there are two variants, with the silver variant being scarce. I only have the red, I think Michael also has the silver. I have been looking out on eBay since I've known about it but have not seen one.

    Okay, but what about that gold one I posted? I know about the silver (which I'm guessing is the silver you mentioned) and the red. What about that gold one?

    I have seen photos of the red edition where the flash reflects off the red lettering to make it appear gold. Could be that, but it generally only reflects on part of the lettering?

    Yeah, it's odd. All the letters look gold. Even the text above it. Maybe Bill can shed some light on this.

    I wrote H&S about the two colors of dust jackets and this was the reply:

    We only had one finished jacket for the hardback - but maybe we proofed one in different coloured lettering before deciding to change it. I know that the lettering was white on the proof. Maybe that is the answer.

    Maybe the "white" they are referring to is the grey version. Still doesn't explain the gold one. Unless it's just an anomaly with how the photo was taken.

    Four Past Midnight - Gold embossed version



    I also include a picture of the CP to compare to the Black embossed one to see if there are printer differences.

    Thanks for posting that Simon. This thread doesn't get updated too often, and most variants that surface tend to appear in places like collection threads. I do actually keep the 1st post with the main list updated whenever I see a new variant come up, as in this case. jonp had mentioned this one here, where you can see the non-gold version.

    Ok CP's are identical then.

    Yeah, I checked mine and it looks the same. So just the front board is different.

    Is the lettering on the spines also different or are they the same?

    Lettering on the spine is the same. I have the black version, and spine lettering is gold on it.
