Science Fiction Book Club selection 8/87 (ref. 11154) (with Josh Kirby

As Colin
Smythe Ltd refused to accept the terms offered by St Martin’s Press
for subsidiary rights on this title, it was published as a hardcover
edition in the US only by Doubleday’s SF Book Club. Thenceforth,
until the Discworld series was taken over
by HarperCollins, the only American-published hardcover editions were
the book club ones.

Das Licht der Phantasie,
trs. Andreas
Brandhorst,
using Kirby’s
Majipoor Chronicles picture ‘Valentine’s Arch’
Heyne, 1989 (3-453-03450-3)
Reissued in
Heyne’s general Allgemeine Reihe series (1/13097) in 11/99 (3-453-16280-3) but
still using the incorrect cover illustration. Although the Heyne art department
were told in no uncertain manner that the picture was painted for the Majipoor
Chronicles series and was therefore unsuitable for the Discworld series, and
thus inappropriate for Die Scheibenwelt (where it has been corrected), it
does not seem to have crossed their collective minds that the picture was
therefore still incorrect for one of the novels in it when published on its own.
Both editions state, rather curiously, that they are the first novels in the
Discworld series, presumably because when they first published The Light
Fantastic, Goldmann still had the rights to The Colour of Magic, and
they were the first volumes of the Discworld Series that Heyne published.
