How to identify this edition
Published by Little, Brown on 7 August 2007 with a first printing of one million copies; the jacket shows a torn red ribbon. The copyright page carries a first edition statement and the full number line 10 to 1; later printings keep the statement with a higher line (sixth printings and later are offered). Boards are black paper with silver lettering on the spine. The front jacket flap is priced $18.99. UNVERIFIED: the statement reads First Edition: September 2007 and the first jacket has no reviews on the rear panel (one dealer). UNVERIFIED: some first printings were issued in glossy pictorial boards without a jacket (one dealer, as their own view). No book club issue was documented.
