Notes on this edition: This first edition, true first printing of Julian Barnes’s The Man in the Red Coat features a publication error later corrected in a subsequent first edition printing. The photo of Oscar Wilde on page [33] is captioned: “Oscar Wilde as Salomé”. The title page also indicates the first printing was “Printed and bound in China by C&C Offset Printing Co., Ltd”.
The image of Wilde was changed and newly captioned: “Wilde as a Greek”. In all other respects, the edition is identical, except the copyright page now indicates the book was, “Printed and bound in Italy by L.E.G.O. S.p.A.” (see additional images below). The corrected volume does not indicate a second printing.
The images above for the first edition, true first printing also show two versions of the back of the dust jacket. One shows the ISBN barcode as printed, while another image shows a replacement sticker that was used on “Signed” copies, as indicated by a sticker on the front of the jacket, also pictured above.
