Sword & Laser first editions

Sword & Laser Book Club members read all editions of the monthly picks: print, audio, ebook, even cuneiform, if such editions exist. Ok, maybe not cuneiform. The gallery on this page will be devoted to first editions of the monthly picks. What exactly is a first edition? The edition that came first? Is it the American, British or some other country's first publication? Is it the signed, numbered and/or lettered limited edition? Is it the limited edition preview? Is it the advanced reading copy (aka ARC)? Sometimes it's hard to tell, so we'll see. Feel free to replace images as needed. Other galleries focus on vintage paperbacks, fiction mags, and graphic novels.
