Many copies of the 1500-copy hardbound issue were sold to libraries. The demand for the book had not been anticipated by the publisher who quickly stripped covers from the paperbound copies and casebound them in boards. This is one of the additional casebound copies using the sheets of the trade paperback issue. Probably 1000 copies were so bound, making this issue scarcer than the first issue. First book of "The Wheel of Time" series. A fine copy in fine dust jacket priced $24.95 on the front flap. (#179081).
